A Look at Santa María Church
This church was built a long, long time ago, in the 13th century. That means it was constructed in the 1200s! It's a great example of what's called Romanesque architecture. This style of building was popular in Europe during the Middle Ages.
What Makes it Special?
What makes the Iglesia de Santa María truly unique is that it still has parts from an even older building. Imagine, some pieces of this church are from between the 8th and 10th centuries! That's from the 700s to the 900s. It's very rare for a building to keep parts from such an ancient time. This shows us how people built things many centuries ago.
