Arco de San Miguel de Mazarreros, Medieval church portal in Sasamón, Spain
The stone arch stands isolated in wheat fields northwest of Sasamón, marking the location of a former religious structure near the Brullés River.
Built in the 12th century, this portal remains the last testament to San Miguel de Mazarreros village, which was abandoned during devastating plague epidemics.
The arch represents the architectural heritage of medieval religious buildings in the Burgos province, now listed as an endangered monument.
Located one kilometer from Sasamón municipal pools, the arch can be reached by following the signs toward Sotresgudo through agricultural paths.
Three simple stone crosses accompany this solitary arch in the fields, with local tales suggesting an underground passage connecting it to Santa María la Real church.
