Church of San Facundo y San Primitivo, Silió, Romanesque church in Silió, Spain

The building features a high nave reaching ten meters in height and contains a semicircular apse divided into three distinct vertical sections.

The church stands on the site of a former monastery established in 938, later donated to the Cathedral of Burgos by Queen Urraca in 1119.

The capitals within the church display narrative scenes of workers carrying cauldrons and mythical creatures, representing typical Romanesque iconographic elements.

Two entrance doors provide access to the church: the main southern entrance with prismatic archivolts and a secondary door on the gable wall.

Nine blind arches inside the apse contain detailed sculptural capitals that survived a fire during the Spanish Civil War.
