The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in Rueda (Valladolid) is a prominent 18th-century Baroque church that, together with its Renaissance tower, shines in the heart of the town. It was designed by the architect Manuel Serrano and built in the mid-18th century; the main portal and altarpiece are attributed to Pedro de Sierra.

Also known as the Main Parish Church of San Antolín. The original parish dates back to 1177, founded by settlers from the north (Palencia) and dedicated to Saint Antolín. In 1480, the Catholic Monarchs obtained a papal bull from Pope Sixtus IV elevating its status to a collegiate church with a free abbey. Construction of the current church began in 1502 and continued into the 18th century, with prominent architects such as Juan Gil de Hontañón, Rodrigo Gil, and the Gutiérrez brothers. It lost its collegiate church status in 1851, becoming simply the main parish church.

This iconic building, now home to the municipal library, features a spacious, remodeled interior courtyard. While striving to maintain the closest possible resemblance to its original construction, this isn't always entirely successful. The building's facade is well worth a look.
