Church of Our Lady of the Assumption

The present church of Cabanillas, on Calle Fueros de Navarra, is one of the focal points of the town’s liturgical and festive life. The building has a Baroque appearance and preserves sacred furnishings from different periods, including altarpieces and devotional carvings commissioned between the 16th and 18th centuries. Marian devotion shapes its programme and remains visible in the local calendar: feasts of the Assumption, rosaries, pilgrimages and processions that, every September, connect the church with the Romanesque church of San Juan de Jerusalén through the image of San Roque, a patron saint deeply rooted in La Ribera.nnFor visitors, the church offers two readings. From the outside, it is a landmark aligned with the old road and easy to identify on the way to the town centre; inside, it is a compendium of local sacred art that has incorporated occasional restorations without losing its character as a living church. Its altarpieces reveal regional workshop solutions, from 16th-century panel painting to Baroque polychrome wood, reflecting an everyday religiosity that is less monumental than in larger towns but highly representative of La Ribera. The visit can be combined with a short walk to Plaza del Ayuntamiento and, depending on the calendar, with a choral event or parish concert.
