The Renaissance church of Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción

Built between 1562 and 1568, the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción is a Roman Catholic church located in the town of Tudela de Duero, in the province of Valladolid. The building consists of three naves, octagonal pillars, and vaults with star-crossed designs. Although it preserves elements of Gothic style, such as the nerves of the vaults and the pointed arches, the building is Renaissance. A large half-point niche is topped by a plateresque-style balustrade attributed to the architect Juan de Escalante.

The retablos, dated mostly in the XVII and XVIII centuries, are particularly noteworthy. The main altar, dedicated to Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, is attributed to Manuel Álvarez and Juan de la Maza, though it also features carvings attributed to Gregorio Fernández, specifically the sculptures of the Tabernacle and the relief of La Anunciación.

In an alabaster sepulchre, the work of Esteban Jordán, rest the remains of the bishop Alonso Velázquez, a professor at the university of Alcalá de Henares, confessor of santa Teresa de Jesús, bishop of Osma and advisor to Felipe II de España.
