With the invocation of Nra. Mrs. de Fuentes Claras, Valverde has a Parish Church of great interest, built, like that of Jarandilla, taking advantage of various elements of the castle that the Counts of Nieva owned in the place, although its adaptation is much more visible than in that one so it still retains a marked military flavor. Its total dimensions (36 x 15 meters), are very loose for the population of the nucleus that did not reach 300 neighbors in the period of greatest development (in the census of 1591 only 240 total neighbors appear). With a rectangular plan with a hexagonal apse, the only one in the region, it has several dependencies attached to its walls: a tower of the fortress on the eastern wall of the apse, the sacristy at the height of the first section of the Epistle nave next to the Headboard. and a Chapel on the same section of the opposite nave, the bell tower being inscribed within the section of the feet
