Interior of Parish Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in La Alberca, Salamanca, Spain

La Alberca is a municipality in the province of Salamanca, where people have been living since before the arrival of the Romans. In 1940 the town became a National Historic Landmark, facilitating urban conservation. The Parish Church of Our Lady of the Assumption dates from the 18th century. It was completed in 1733. It has a notable pulpit of polychrome granite from the 16th century and is renowned for the Blessed Christ of the Sweat. The church tower was built about 212 years before the present church, paid for by the first Duke of Alba, with his coat of arms visible in a corner of the Tower. It was recorded in 1693 that there was a clock and bells in the tower.
