Quick facts for kids Church of Santa Eulalia de Ujo

Location	Asturias, Spain

The Church of Santa Eulalia de Ujo (Spanish: Iglesia de Santa Eulalia de Ujo) is a special church in the town of Mieres. This town is located in Asturias, a beautiful region in northern Spain.

This church is very old! It was first built way back in the 12th century. That's over 800 years ago!

What makes this church extra interesting is that it was actually moved. In 1922, the church had to be relocated to make room for a new railroad line. But don't worry, they didn't just tear it down. Instead, they carefully took parts of the original Romanesque church and used them to build the new one. This included the main entrance, called the portal, and parts of the rounded back section, known as the apse. So, when you see the church today, you are looking at pieces of history from centuries ago!
