Hiking

Its construction began in the 12th century, although in later times, especially in the 14th and 16th centuries, new spaces were added, until the ensemble we know today was completed, a mixture of Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque elements. In the upper part the towers rise, with three bodies and a pyramidal top. The main entrance has two pairs of columns with archivolts and a smooth tympanum. From here we access the chapel of Santo Cristo, with a rectangular floor plan and baroque aesthetics. It was built between the 17th and 18th centuries.

Romanesque church from the 12th century with beautiful cemetery behind. By the way, it is the last church on the Way of St. James!

In 1479 the pastor Alonso García founded the Hospital de Peregrinos de Nuestra Señora del Rosario, a hospital built in front of the church, on the site that today occupies the cemetery and some remains of which still survive.
