San Caprasio, Romanesque church in Santa Cruz de la Serós, Spain
The church features a single nave with a semicircular apse, constructed using medium-sized ashlar stones arranged in chains with thick walls and five windows.
The construction of San Caprasio took place between 1020 and 1030 during the reign of Sancho III el Mayor, when Alto Aragón experienced repopulation and reconstruction.
The exterior walls display Lombard Romanesque elements with lesenas and blind arches, indicating the influence of northern Italian craftsmen in Spanish religious architecture.
The church stands near the monastery of San Juan de la Peña and functions as part of the French Way pilgrimage route through Aragón.
The bell tower, added in the 12th century, lacks internal access and required a mobile ladder for maintenance, revealing medieval construction methods.
