Descending from the Puerto de Pajares, we did not find this gift from the Collegiate Church. Its origin was a hospital for pilgrims on their way to Oviedo, whose foundation is attributed to the Leonese count Fruela Díaz and his wife Estefanía Sánchez. From León, a city through which the so-called French Way of Santiago passes, in late Romanesque style. My visit was free.

Count Fruela Díaz and his wife Estefanía, who had vast properties throughout this region, around 1116 wanted to found a pilgrim hostel or hospital that would serve as a refuge, protection and rest for travelers who frequented this area from the Meseta on the way to Oviedo. in whose Holy Chamber of the cathedral they venerated the numerous relics kept there. Very often these travelers continued the Camino de Santiago from Oviedo. This type of shelter-shelter proliferated in places where the custody of walkers was necessary, as they were remote and uncrowded places. They had a hospital and chapel in the port of San Glorio, port of Pandetrave, port of Pontón, port of Ventaniella, port of Tarna and port of San Isidro, among others. The passage through Pajares was especially dangerous.

Located on the border of Castilla León with Asturias, its function was the care and protection of pilgrims and travelers on the route from León to San Salvador de Oviedo. Its period of greatest splendor was in the 12th and 13th centuries. It is characterized by the exterior simplicity of its lines, being late Romanesque, Cistercian style and even Gothic due to the vegetal decoration of its capitals. Basilica plan with three naves. Unique of its kind in the province of León, it is the result of the union of the Asturian, Zamorano and Salamancan Romanesque. In a nearby house they put the seal of the Collegiate Church on you.
