The dictionary tells me that espaldaña is belfry, but looking at google images, they don't seem to be the same.
It is talking about a church, but I don't know which church, as all the segments have been cut up and mixed up by the CAT tool.
Fachada principal de estilo barroco, en vez de torres campanario presenta un par de espadañas.
Thanks
