Hermitage of Saint Peter, Romanesque church in Merindad de Valdivielso, Spain.

The stone structure features a single nave with a semicircular apse and an eight-windowed tower rising above the central dome.

The hermitage, constructed in the 12th century, remains from the former San Pedro de Tejada monastery founded in 850 and later absorbed by San Salvador de Oña.

The portal displays intricate sculptural motifs, including capitals depicting the four Evangelists and reliefs showing the Last Supper and symbolic battles.

Access to the hermitage requires advance reservations through telephone numbers 947303200 or 652641079 as the building stands on private property.

The interior arches contain six capitals with preserved traces of original paint, featuring representations mixing religious themes with medieval humor.
