Church of Santiago, Luna

The Church of Santiago presents a rectangular layout with a single nave, semicircular apse, and crypt beneath the presbytery, built with high-quality ashlar stonework.

The church construction dates back to the 12th century, incorporating the architectural principles and methods prevalent in medieval religious structures of Aragon.

The building features decorative chess-pattern cornices and historiated corbels in the apse, displaying musicians and an eagle among its sculptural representations.

The temple receives natural light through five arrow-slit windows: one in the apse, one in the southern wall, and three splayed openings in the western gable.

The entrance portal contains three splayed archivolts supported by smooth jambs and imposts, leading to a central nave covered by pointed barrel vaults.
