The Church of San Miguel Arcángel in Mota del Cuervo is one of the most emblematic buildings in the town. Its construction began at the end of the 15th century and continued throughout the 16th and 17th centuries. This Catholic temple is listed as a Site of Cultural Interest. The church has a hall plan with three naves, each divided into three sections. The central nave is covered with ribbed vaults in the first and third sections, while the second section has a handkerchief vault. The apse is accessed through a triumphal arch and is covered with a dome on pendentives. On the outside, the church has two doorways. The north doorway is in Plateresque style, with a semicircular arch flanked by Corinthian columns and topped by a large scallop shell. The south doorway is more sober, in Doric style, with a pediment and Herrerian balls. The tower, located at the foot of the temple, has a square plan and is divided into two sections separated by a cornice.⛪
