Lagartera

The Marcial Moreno Pascual municipal museum is located in a farmhouse dating back to the early 20th century. Its old structure has been respected, except for the upper floor, where the roof has been raised due to the requirements of the work it houses, but without losing its characteristics of popular architecture.

It has a rectangular floor plan, with a single nave covered by a gabled roof and an octagonal apse with masonry and ashlars in the corners. It has a brick belfry to the SE with a single hole for the bell. It has a gabled roof and a beautiful Mudejar coffered ceiling inside. Probably built in the second half of the 16th century.

The oldest traces of the building seem to date from the first half of the 15th century. The oldest signs are to be found on the main façade at the foot of the church and on the north and south walls near the façade. Here, two lintelled arched doorways with pearls in their archivolts, typical of the late Gothic period, were opened. These were the ancient and only entrances to the temple. The church used to have a belfry, but this space had to be sacrificed when the new tower was erected. Part of the lintel and a jamb have survived.

Toledillo is separated from the rest of the neighbourhoods of Lagartera by the small stream of La Chorrera, which flows down from El Berrocal. The two banks of this stream were always linked by a bridge. The escarpments are high And the Roman road from Mérida to Zaragoza had to cross this geographical feature by means of a Roman bridge. There are no traces of its factory. It was narrow for livestock and agricultural traffic on its banks and in the 16th century it was replaced by a more capable bridge, known as the Puente Grande. Its pavement is made of granite stone and has large slabs of granite carved and placed vertically to form a petril. Despite the stonework, its united, semicircular arch is made of brick. It has an epigraph documenting his birth, 1578.
