Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción (Exfiliana)
This church has undergone so many transformations that only the traditional brick walls and masonry, as well as the adobe caissons, remain of its Mudéjar architecture. The oldest element of the church is undoubtedly the coat of arms of Bishop Antonio del Águila (1537–1546), which is located above the portal at the entrance.
Significant reconstruction is evident both inside and outside the building, as can be seen in the masonry of the walls and the way the various rooms overlap. The oldest part of the building is the nave, which ends in an octagonal shape. A main chapel, covered by a dome on pendentives, was later added, and several adjoining chapels were subsequently opened. The most original of these is the chapel on the right, next to the triumphal arch. It has a wide entrance arch and an alcove at the back, both of which are carved from brick in the Mudejar style.
This chapel is dedicated to the Virgen de la Cabeza. Interestingly, there are three images of her in the town and she is the subject of great devotion in the Zalabí Valley. The tower was probably added in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century, and the entire church was restored and modernised in recent years. The original framework of the main nave was replaced with a barrel vault. The exterior is graceful thanks to the clean lines and the church's position at the top of a spacious square. It is located in Plaza de España.
