Small and little-known Romanesque church, very convenient to include on a route between the valleys of Cantabria (Pas and Besaya). Its construction dates back to the 12th century. Characteristics are its belfry, and its original and beautiful statue (to the right of the doorway) of St. Christopher, with the baby Jesus on his shoulders. It also preserves some corbels worthy of being part of a worthy photographic safari typical of the good Romanesque painter ;)

Romanesque church in Cotillo, a town located in the geographic center of Cantabria. Although it was closed and we could not see it inside, it is so beautiful on the outside and with so many details that it is a real gift for the eyes.

A marvel. It is worth visiting the entire Valle de Anievas. (Cantabria).

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
