This is a religious plaque attached to a wall in San Martín de Trevejo. It depicts Christ with the Sacred Heart, a common Catholic devotional image. Below the figure, there is a single word in capital letters:
Latin
“Reinare” : “He will reign” (from the verb regnare, “to reign”).
This word comes from the Catholic phrase “Christus vincit, Christus regnat, Christus imperat” (“Christ conquers, Christ reigns, Christ commands”).

These coats of arms are common in the Sierra de Gata villages, where many houses from the 16th–18th centuries bear heraldic shields on their façades as a sign of status.
