Nuestra Señora de la Asunción church

This church is located in Independence Square. What is most striking is its bell tower, as it is independent and isolated from the rest of the temple. This is because it was a defence tower in medieval times. Attached to the wall of the tower is a public fountain with two streams of water, once used as a watering hole for cattle. Above it, a plaque commemorates the heroes of the War of Independence, as Jerte was looted by Napoleon in 1809.
