Bareyo - Santa Maria


The "Iglesia de Santa Maria" was built in the second half of the 12th century. From the little hill, the shoreline can be seen. The "Camino del Norte" (aka "Camino de la Costa"), the oldest known "camino" to Santiago de Compostela run along the northern coast, as moorish troops roamed the inland.
Even in the 12th century, when this church was erected, this way was popular as the pilgrims could visit the Monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana. The largest part of the "True Cross" (aka "Lignum Crucis") was venerated in that monastery, it had the privilege of perpetual indulgences.
The "Iglesia de Santa Maria" is known for some extraordinary Romanesque carvings. Obviously the same artist, who carved the previous uploaded capital (beast fighting man), created this one, as here again heads just "grow" out of the background. There are either two beasts with multiple heads each - or a group of beasts.
