The Church of the Assumption in Almansa is an imposing monument that stands in front of the Plaza de Santa María. It is a must-see when touring the historic center of Almansa. Inside, Our Lady of Bethlehem, the Patroness of the city, presides over the High Altar.

Construction began on April 30, 1524. Throughout the first half of the 16th century, it was developed from the foundation to the elevation of the nave walls, the side chapels, and buttresses were added. The sculptural group on the façade represents the Annunciation, with the Virgin kneeling before a lectern and the archangel Gabriel in front of her.

If you're thinking of visiting the city, here's a little history to inspire you!

The patronage of this church - "Santa MARIA ASUNCION" or "Nuestra Señora de La Asunción" (in German-speaking countries it is called "Mariä Himmelfahrt") - refers to one of the many memorial or feast days in honor of the Mother of God Mary in the church year. It goes back to the feast of her bodily assumption into heaven, which the (Catholic) Church celebrates annually on August 15th. In Christian Orthodox churches the feast is celebrated under the name "Maria Entschläfung".

In rural areas it is part of the local custom - depending on the region - that on this special day bundles of herbs are collected by the population and blessed in the festive service.
