La Iglesia de muy grandes dimensiones, dispone de dos pórticos, ambos con puertas muy similares, la principal, por donde hacen entrada los fieles es una puerta de madera de doble hoja con una apertura menor para facilidad de uso, y esta chapada con planchas de hierro fijadas con remaches; el otro pórtico dispone también de una puerta de doble hoja con una apertura menor para facilidad de uso y al igual que la anterior está contrachapada con planchas de hierro y cosida mediante remaches.

"La Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de El Carpio se encuentra situada en el mismo lugar, que ocupó la fundación realizada por Garci Méndez. La referencia más antigua se tiene de esta construcción data de 1360 y en ella se dice que se ubicaba junto a la Torre Fortaleza.

Este primitivo núcleo, muy deteriorado a fines del siglo XVI, sufrió importantes transformaciones en los siglos XVII y XVIII que le ha dado su fisonomía actual. En su interior albergan obras del imaginero Castillo Lastrucci y un sarcófago del siglo XVII.

Muy interesante es la Cripta, que data del siglo XVI situada bajo la capilla mayor, realizada para enterramiento de los Señores de El Carpio.
Horario

"The Parish of Our Lady of the Assumption of El Carpio is located in the same place occupied by the foundation made by Garci Méndez. The oldest reference to this construction dates back to 1360 and it is said that it was located next to to the Fortress Tower.

This primitive nucleus, very deteriorated at the end of the 16th century, underwent important transformations in the 17th and 18th centuries that have given it its current appearance. Inside they house works by the image maker Castillo Lastrucci and a sarcophagus from the 17th century.
