Hermitage of San Román de Moroso
Hermitage of San Román de Moroso, Medieval hermitage church in Arenas de Iguña, Spain
The hermitage features a horseshoe arch entrance, a single nave with a barrel vault, and a rectangular apse with distinctive floral modillions on its walls.
The first written record of the hermitage dates to 1119 when Queen Urraca transferred the structure to the Abbey of Santo Domingo de Silos.
The building displays Repoblación architectural elements from the 10th century, constructed by Mozarabic Christians who relocated from Al-Andalus to northern Spain.
Located between Arenas de Iguña and Bostronizo at coordinates 43.2197, -4.05529, the hermitage received restoration work on its walls between 1959 and 1961.
During restorations, archaeologists discovered a medieval necropolis surrounding the hermitage, containing both tombstone graves and sarcophagus burials.
