Description

This hermitage, in a state of complete abandonment, is located on a rock, over the Cueva de San Pelayo, which according to tradition found Count Fernán González inhabited by this and other hermits, is considered dated 912 but with subsequent modifications, is built in irregular silería and consists of a rectangular nave and a flat testero apse in which there is a curved window carved in two ashlars and covered by vault on pendentives. According to 18th century news, the hermitage was connected to the cave, although it has not been verified.
