From the 13th century, and expanded in the 17th century. The Annunciation stands out with its Gothic façade and the main altarpiece with paintings by Mengs. Three naves, it contains altarpieces, tombs, paintings, images... the image of the Virgin of Manzano from the 13th century stands out.
On the main altar, a Rococo altarpiece stands out, whose central motif is the Annunciation by Mengs, chamber painter of Charles III. On the sides are the tombs of the Counts of Castro, Juan de Mendoza, Marquis of la Hinojosa, and Diego Sarmiento, Count of Ribadavia.

On the 14th stage of the Camino Frances (counting according to "Rother") from Hontanas to Boadilla del Camino we pass the village of Castrojeriz with the impressive church "Santa Maria del Manzano".
The image of the main altar refers to the Feast of the Annunciation to Mary (feast day is March 25th, exactly 9 months before Christmas), when the angel of the Lord brought her the message that she was giving birth to the Son of God - Jesus Christ should. According to the account in the first chapter of the Gospel of Luke, this happened in Nazareth (Israel).
