Church of San Salvador, San Salvador de Cantamuda, Romanesque church in San Salvador de Cantamuda, Spain.

The Church of San Salvador exhibits a Latin cross floor plan with three semicircular apses and a central nave covered by pointed barrel vaults.

Countess Elvira Favilaz established the foundation of the church through land donations to the Diocese of León, documented in records from 1037 and 1069.

The church features intricate corbels decorated with geometric and plant motifs, representing the artistic expressions of medieval Spanish craftsmen.

The church maintains its religious function as a parish while allowing visitors to examine its architectural elements during non-service hours.

The 18-meter-tall belfry stands as one of the most notable examples of Romanesque tower construction in northern Spain.
