Tendilla (Guadalajara, Spain) has a population of about 410 inhabitants.

Among the monuments in the town of Tendilla underlines the unfinished church whose size surprised tourists when it comes to the valley (especially if it comes from Sacedón). It is located next to the Plaza Mayor. The church is dedicated to Our Lady of Asuncion and was built in the sixteenth century to XVIII, but it was not completed. It is one of the so-called "type room" in which the transept is no wider than the entire craft. It is believed that the model of this type of churches was imported or low Rhine Westphalia (Germany) and would be a continuation of the model columnaria Gothic church. Substituía to an ancient church dedicated to the Virgen de la Zarza (thirteenth century), located in the eastern part of the hillside north of the town of Tendilla.
Within the Church is the small image (8'5 cm) of the patron, the Virgin of Salceda. It is called so because they found in a sauce of a ravine between Tendilla and Peñalver (both locations share the same patron) about Knights of the Order of St. John at the end of the XIIth or more probably in the XIII. The image of Mary holding the baby in her arms, made perhaps polychrome copper (silver as others) in the sixteenth century, is surrounded with a silver sun, made in Madrid in 1623, and is based on a crystal ball. It lies within a Templete of 45 x 44 cm base and 78 cm high, made in Madrid (around 1612-1623) overlapped with bronze with silver, coral, azurite and burilados ornaments. It was commissioned by Fray Pedro Gonzalez de Mendoza (son of the Princess of Éboli)
