La antigua iglesia visigótica, aunque con algunos elementos románicos, de San Gregorio. Situada en lo alto de un cerro, con vistas al pueblo. Aún conserva la antigua cabecera de la iglesia y multitud de cruces de piedra, de estilo visigodo. Junto a ella se encuentra el cementerio, bendecido como tal el día 26 de diciembre de 1826. El viacrucis, que va desde la iglesia de San Pedro hasta esta antigua iglesia tiene cruces que datan de 1783. Ha sido restaurada hace poco, arreglando la torre del antiguo campanario, adaptándola como mirador y la cabecera de la iglesia.
La actual iglesia de San Pedro, en la plaza del pueblo. De estilo barroco, de la época de Carlos III, como atestigua una inscripción, de estilo sencillo y poco llamativo. Los primeros escritos que la mencionan son de 1769. A partir de 1780 ya se realizan todos los actos litúrgicos en esta iglesia.
La ermita de San Vicente Mártir, en las afueras de Fuentesoto, en la antigua población de San Vicente de Pospozuelo a apenas a un kilómetro del pueblo, ya vacía en 1789. Es un edificio románico, del siglo XII, en el que destacan el ábside y la decoración de sus columnas, tanto interiores como exteriores. Las del exterior están decoradas con hojas de acanto en su parte superior y con parejas de grifos en la inferior. Fue restaurada en el año 1989.
