Collegiate of Santa Cruz de Castañeda, Romanesque church in Castañeda, Spain.

The collegiate church features three naves divided by sturdy columns supporting round arches, with detailed stone carvings adorning the main entrance portal.

Dating from the 12th century, this religious structure expanded from its original single nave design to include additional Gothic and 17th-century architectural elements.

The church interior contains animal and plant motifs on column capitals, Gothic Way of the Cross artworks, and two medieval Virgin with Child sculptures.

Located on Carretera N-634 Vargas-Sarón, the collegiate church offers guided tours and maintains regular worship services for the local parish community.

The southern section underwent transformation into a private chapel with Baroque elements, while maintaining its connection to the Pilgrim's Road to Santiago.
