Hermitage of San Miguel de Gormaz, Romanesque hermitage church in Gormaz, Spain.

The structure features seven semi-circular arches in its arcaded gallery, with a square tower attached to the northern wall of the building.

The consecration of this religious edifice took place in 1080, representing an early example of Romanesque architecture in the Castilla y León region.

The capitals of the supporting columns display intricate carvings depicting peacocks, Muslim figures, horses, and lions, reflecting medieval artistic expression.

The hermitage combines rough masonry construction with shaped stones at the corners, featuring a nave, presbytery, and semi-circular apse with barrel vaults.

The entrance doorway contains three semi-circular archivolts decorated with batons, supported by four columns with hand-carved capital ornaments.
