Our Lady of the Assumption

Marian Advocation of Brunete (Community of Madrid)

The title of the parish church of Brunete, whose construction dates back to the XV-XVI centuries in the style of Gothic-Renaissance transition. The first documents called it "Church of Saint Anton"; the advocation to the Assumption is already reflected in the Dictionary of Madoz (1846). In 1836, a great fire seriously damaged the temple. During the Civil War (1936-1939), the church again suffered severe destruction and the image was destroyed. The parish was rebuilt in the post-war.
