The town grew in population and a new neighbourhood was formed to the east, today Virgen de la Sierra street. It also had a new church as a place of worship, which would be located on the site of the current parish church, but of smaller dimensions. The houses of the local bourgeoisie and nobility were transformed to adapt them to the tastes of the time, giving them more space along Calle Real.

The church of San Pedro Apóstol, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, was built at the end of the 15th century, although its current appearance is the result of a thorough renovation in the 17th century.

Particularly striking is the fusion of building styles, combining the brickwork of the Islamic tradition maintained in the Christian period through the Mudéjar style and the Western European styles present in the Gothic style doorway, belonging to the original building from the beginning of the 15th century.

Another significant area for the locality is the old dula. A dula is the name, of Arabic origin, given to the communal grazing land for the flocks or herds of the neighbours. From this meaning it would make sense to use it as a bullring in the case of Villarroya de la Sierra.

The Mudejar style in Tarazona has its own personality. An example of this singularity is the cathedral of Santa María de la Huerta. The beginnings of the Mudejar works in Tarazona Cathedral start with the need to rebuild it due to the War of the Two Peters. We find important Mudejar interventions such as the tower, the dome and the cloister. The cloister is unique due to the fact that it is completely enclosed with latticework, mostly with motifs from the Christian tradition, but its aesthetic sense is from the Islamic tradition.

There are other monuments of special importance: the church of La Magdalena has preserved the Mudejar wooden roof system in one of the side naves and a piece of liturgical furniture from a Moorish workshop in the nearby town of Torrellas dating from the 16th century.

Other outstanding buildings in the town centre include the Episcopal Palace, the church of San Miguel Arcángel, the Palace of Eguarás, the Town Hall, etc.

The current church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción was built in 1674 by the architect Juan de la Marca. It is a Baroque church from the last third of the 17th century. Even so, the architect used materials and techniques reminiscent of the Islamic period. An example of this is the plasterwork inside the church in the Mudejar tradition.

The constructive evolution of the building is documented and it highlights the reuse of the previous temple, probably in the Mudejar style. The tower we see today is the result of a work carried out after 1971, as the old tower collapsed in that year, causing damage to the presbytery and transept of the current church. It was made of masonry and reinforced with ashlar stone at the corners.

In Acered we also find other important urban spaces and elements for the town that you can visit, such as the washing place or the Cruz de los Apóstoles (Apostles’ Cross).
