Logroño - San Bartolomé

San Bartolomé is the oldest church of Logroño. The construction dates back to the 12th century. Though it got altered largely in the 16th century, the Romanesque structure is still visible.

During the time of "La Desamortización", when mid 19th century many monastic properties got sold, the church was used as a warehouse and workshop. It was even discussed to demolish the building.

The porch was created in the 13th century. The upper part dates back to 16th century, but the builders saved the old tympanum, that found a new place. Where the tympanum once was is now a window.
