Colegiate of San Miguel

The Collegiate Church of San Miguel is a Gothic building in Aguilar de Campoo featuring three naves supported by ribbed vaults and decorated with elaborate stonework. The structure houses multiple chapels, medieval tombs, and a bell tower that defines the town's skyline.

The church began as a parish church and was later elevated to collegiate status as the town gained in importance and prominence. This transformation in the 16th century reflected the rising power and influence of the local noble families.

This house of worship served as a burial place for influential local families and remains a center of religious importance for the town. The chapels throughout the building still reflect the spiritual role it has played in the community for generations.

The building is accessible on foot and the interior spaces are well-lit for viewing the architectural details and artworks. It is best to visit early in the day to take your time exploring the chapels and tombs without crowds.

Inside is the Cristo Chapel housing a collection of tombs from the 14th century that showcase the craftsmanship and religious devotion of the period. The sculptures and stonework in this chapel reveal how these monuments once expressed both power and faith for the families who commissioned them.
