Osuna-Iglesia de Santo Domingo
Nuestra Señora de la Asunción Church (Santo Domingo Parish)

In 1513, the 4th Count of Ureña gifted the old San Sebastián Chapel and the adjoining charity hospital to the friars of the Order of Preachers so that they could found their convent. The Count had it recorded that the Chapel should not be demolished but rather incorporated into the new church. Its construction was completed on 7 March 1547.
