Church of Nuestra Señora del Sagrario

The parish church of Nuestra Señora del Sagrario in Las Majadas was built between the 16th and 17th centuries. It holds a painted altarpiece dated 1618 and a Mudéjar coffered ceiling. In its courtyard stands the rollo de justicia, a jurisdictional column symbolising the town's autonomy and its former judicial powers.

Las Majadas grew out of shepherds’ majadas (stock folds), and its church dates from when the village had already become a chartered town. It was built between the 16th and 17th centuries and holds two notable pieces: a painted altarpiece dated 1618 and a Mudéjar coffered ceiling. In the courtyard stands the rollo de justicia, the column marking the town’s independent jurisdiction. There were also hermitages dedicated to San Juan, Santiago, San Bartolomé and San Sebastián.
