Church of San Vicente in Roda de Isabena

The Church of San Vicente in Roda de Isábena is a former cathedral built in Romanesque style with three interior sections and rounded arches. The structure features stone construction typical of medieval building techniques from its era.

The building was originally founded in the mid-10th century and was later rebuilt after destruction. The reconstruction in the early 11th century created the structure that visitors see today.

The church is named after Saint Vincent and once served as the spiritual center of the region for centuries. Today you can feel how this place shaped the lives of people who gathered here for prayer and community.

The site can be explored on foot as the church occupies a compact area with its cloister and surrounding rooms. Refreshments are available in the former refectory, making it easy to spend time here at a relaxed pace.

Beneath the church floor lies a crypt containing a stone burial chamber of religious significance. This hidden sanctuary displays medieval stone carving with figured scenes.
