Iglesia nuestra Señora del Rosario, Fontellas

Temple erected in the middle of the s. XVI according to the style of the Catholic Monarchs; It has undergone various renovations throughout its history.

It presents a nave plan with three sections with a pentagonal head; and covered with starry vaults with mixtilinear ribs and keystones decorated with rosettes of foliage.

The brick facade, with two openings in the bell tower, and the two interior side chapels, covered with barrel vaults, were incorporated in the mid-s. XIX.

Inside, the main altarpiece presided over by the priest, with a Mannerist design and dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary, dates from the first half of the 17th century. From this same period dates the niche of the central street of the attic, which houses the carving of San Agustín, dated in the s. XVIII. Later, from the s. XIX, is the niche, in the first body, in which is the carving of Our Lady of the Rosary with the Child.

In another of the chapels, that of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, there is a large baroque tabernacle from the end of the 17th century. Likewise, the Crucified Christ from the middle of the s. XVI that was in a pre-Churrigueresque altarpiece, now lost.
