Description
This small church is found at 2 Km from Valeránica. It was restored by Luis Menéndez Pidal. It still keeps part of the Mozarabic chevet with an interesting horseshoe arch and a decoration set in the same style, that includes a modillion and several blocks sculptured with compositions in Oriental motifs, like the fight of a lamb and a snake or two deers confronted around a treel.
For more information see its description in Condado de Castilla.
