While touring the area, I made this discovery. Roberto, the person in charge of care, is a wonderful guide to the church and the environment.

The current temple, a National Monument since 1931, is mostly a work of the 16th century. The original Romanesque was almost completely demolished and replaced by the one we see today. Fortunately, its most valuable piece, the porticoed gallery attached to its south wall, was fully respected. Until 1928 it remained with its openings blocked, constituting a kind of nave outside the walls parallel to the main one. We are facing one of the best porticoed galleries of the Castilian Romanesque, which is the same as saying of the Romanesque in general terms given that outside of Spain this is a structure that does not exist. The Porticada Gallery is a clearly Hispanic contribution to Romanesque Art.

A magnificent Spanish Romanesque church, it is one of the 10 must-visit churches in the region. Take the time to admire the sculptures under its arches and on its pillars and do not hesitate to ask the village club for the key so that it can be opened and shown to you from the inside. The altarpiece is magnificent.

One of the most beautiful Romanesque churches in the province of Burgos. To highlight, especially, its porticoed gallery and its capitals, which are of singular beauty.

Romanesque jewel in the middle of a landscape that is spectacular in autumn and winter. Very notable porticoed gallery, one of the best in Spain, which stands out above all for the quality of the capitals. Very easy access. It's a shame we couldn't get in, we're still waiting for it, but still, the trip and the surroundings are worth it.

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
