This is the finest example of mountain Romanesque art you can find. Do not miss this pure gem of mozarabic architecture (th-century). There have been traces since 930, but it is assumed that its construction is prior. The church was built in the same time as the church was built, and an olive tree planted according to villagers. At the entrance, the annulled arches recalling the architecture of mosques place, inside, the romanasque style of asturiennes churches (cradle vault), strongly impregnated with wisigothiques elements: carved capitals of grape leaves and heads of owls. The vertical slab in front of the altar is only a Celtic stele (dating from 2000 BC) engraved from a sun and decorated with a small polychrome figure painted in ash and blood. Behind the altar, the baroque altarpiece (th century) includes a surprising Virgin to the good milk of the th century.
