History
The church of Sierra Bullones was a visita of the parish of Jagna. It was later declared a parish in 1863. It is not known when the construction of the present-day church began and completed, nor any mention whether there were any previous house of worship.
Architecture
The church’s Neo-Gothic facade is prominent and quite awe-inspiring. Its portico is made of four piers supporting wide pointed arch openings (three in front and one each on either side) each paired on top with a quatrefoil window. A simple cornice is where the wall meets the pediment, the central section of which is a rose window. On top of the pediment is a quadrangular belfry whose four sides are pierced by open pointed arches and a small rose window on its gable. Each of its four posts culminate in peaks and its roof is a pyramidal spire.
Celebration
The feast of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception is held every December 8th.
