Hoyuelos

The church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción in the town of Hoyuelos embraces different periods from the Romanesque to the Baroque. The Romanesque style portal y made of ashlar masonry framed by two jambs supporting two archivolts. The gothic-style apse is from the fifteenth or early-sixteenth century, the nave features renaissance characters. The church tower also encompasses three styles: Romanesque, Gothic, and the third section, built to house the bells, is seventeenth-century Baroque. The stately palace dating to the first third of the sixteenth century is in very good condition following its restauration, and is a fine example of an old Segovian casona, or mansion, with its plateresque portal adorned with columns, medallions, figures and the coats-of-arms of the Arias Dávila and Osorio de Virués families. The palace currently belongs to the Marquis of Lozoya.
