Church of San Tirso, Sahagún

The Church of San Tirso features a basilical layout with three naves separated by semicircular arches and incorporates both stone and brick construction methods.

Dating from 1123, this religious structure represents an early example of the architectural fusion between Romanesque traditions and regional building techniques in northern Spain.

The Church of San Tirso stands as part of the Way of Saint James pilgrimage route in León province, contributing to Spain's religious heritage designation.

Visitors can access the church through its porticoed gallery, where ancient sarcophagi are displayed alongside miniature models of Sahagún's historic buildings.

The bell tower, measuring 4.70 meters high and 2.80 meters wide, underwent complete reconstruction between 1948 and 1960 following its collapse.
