Information
To complete the medieval appearance that Peal de Becerro is given by its mocha and clock towers, the remains of the fence walls and the historic center of organic urbanism, with cobbled streets and single-family houses of two heights and asymmetric and uneven holes provided with pots and flowers, it would have been desirable to preserve its original temple. But it disappeared and the parish church of La Encarnación was built on its site in 1969, with a project drawn up and directed by Francisco Gutiérrez de Cabiedes.
The novelty of the temple resides in that the sides of the rectangle of its plant are broken in the shape of a saw point on its sides -with iconographed stained glass windows with human figures and saints-, while on the front straight lines alternate with circular lines and a triangle is formed at the entrance to place the tower on it.
The floor is terrazzo; the altar, of granite; the tower, of exposed brick; wood has a presence on the roof; and a large cross presides over the main facade
