The Castle-Palace of Castronuevo, also known as Castle of Rivilla de Barajas, is an impressive fortification located in the municipality of Rivilla de Barajas, in the province of Ávila, within the autonomous community of Castilla y León. Although its current use is null, its history and structure reveal its former greatness. It was erected by Gil de Vivero before 1481, on the site of Castronuevo, and later remodeled by his son before selling it in 1489 to the Duke of Alba. The castle has three circular towers and two rectangular towers. Despite its age and danger of collapse, this castle remains a fascinating testament to medieval history and architecture. 🏰🌟

The patronage of this place of worship “Santa Maria Asunción” or “Nuestra Señora de La Asunción” (in German-speaking countries it is called “Assumption of Mary”) refers to one of the many memorial or feast days in honor of the Blessed Mother Mary in the church year. It goes back to the festival of her physical assumption into heaven, which the (Catholic) Church celebrates annually on August 15th. In the Orthodox churches the festival is celebrated under the name “Assumption of the Virgin Mary”. In rural areas, depending on the region, it is part of the local custom that bundles of herbs are collected by the population on this day and blessed in the festival service.
