The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in Viso del Marqués, Ciudad Real, is a historic building dating back to at least the 15th century. This Gothic building houses a nave offset from the presbytery, built on the remains of an older church. Curiously, on its walls there is a stuffed crocodile between four and five meters in length, known as "The Lizard of Viso." A unique piece of its kind! 🐊🏰
