The church of Our Lady of the Assumption of Tembleque owes its construction to the expedition to Oran in 1509, commanded by Cardinal Cisneros. Indeed, in gratitude for the million maravedíes and the company of soldiers supplied by the town of Tembleque, Cisneros made large donations for the construction of the temple, to which were added the contributions of the Priors of San Juan and those of the residents of San Juan. Wobbly.

It is a transitional building between Gothic and Renaissance. Essentially built in the first half of the 16th century, the modifications carried out between 1582 and 1596 were supervised by Nicolás Vergara el Mozo. It has a Latin cross plan, a single nave of considerable height and a polygonal head. The factory is made of ashlar with powerful buttresses on the outside.
