Santa Colomba Church
Besides three chapels, Fermoselle has two churches: Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, in the Plaza Mayor, and Santa Colomba, in the upper area of the town (known as "Alto de Santa Colomba"). It is Romanesque, 12th century, with a Latin cross. Built in stone, it has two facades, one on the Plaza de Santa Colomba and one on the street José Antonio (in the latter there's a belfry, from which hangs a single bell). But the most striking is that of the square, because of the three-part tower that bisects the main facade: In the first part is the cover, which is accessed via a staircase, in the third part is a clock with a white marble sculpture depicting the "Blessed Christ of Santa Colomba".
The tower is topped by a wrought iron campanile. Inside is the Christ of Calvary, XI century Romanesque, made of wood, which is considered the most important artistic treasure of the town.
