Ilesia de San Chuan de Busa, Medieval church in Oliván, Spain

The church features a rectangular nave with a wooden two-pitched roof and an incomplete apse without a bell tower on its exterior structure.

Ramón Guillén constructed this religious building between 1060 and 1070 as part of a medieval settlement that no longer exists today.

The entrance displays Arabic Kufic script inscription stating 'la ilaha illa Allah', demonstrating the mixture of Christian and Islamic influences.

The church stands near the road connecting Lárrede with Oliván at coordinates 42.564611 latitude and -0.312889 longitude in the Serrablo region.

The builder learned techniques from San Pedro de Lárrede but chose not to complete stone vaults due to structural stability concerns.

Location: Biescas
