Hermitage of San Pedro de Echano

Hermitage of San Pedro de Echano, 12th-century Romanesque hermitage church in Olóriz, Spain

The Hermitage of San Pedro de Echano is a small 12th-century chapel built with solid stone walls and featuring an arched entrance. The building displays typical Romanesque characteristics common to religious structures in this region.

The building was constructed around 1150 and served for centuries as an important place within the local community. Its designation as a Cultural Property of Interest in 1993 confirmed its architectural and historical value.

The chapel is dedicated to Saint Peter in Chains, a religious devotion rooted in local Catholic tradition. Visitors can observe the sacred elements that remain in this modest place of prayer today.

The chapel sits in a quiet valley with open approaches accessible to visitors on foot. Wear appropriate footwear and allow time to visit and explore the surrounding landscape.

The chapel stands on the site of the former village of Echano, which is now uninhabited. This abandoned settlement gives the visit a special quality, with the church sitting alone within the countryside.
