The old church of Cebreros

The Old Church of Santiago was constructed in the second half of the 14th century and reconstructed in the 15th century. It lost the condition of parish at the beginning of the 17th century when the new church was constructed, though it kept the worship until the 19th century. Later it harbored so different uses of which nowadays we just have been reached by the ruins of its rich front door, the strong tower and the slender interior arcades that defined the nave, the altar and the lateral chapels.

The restoration and reconstruction of the Old Church’s ruins have allowed interweaving the Contemporary History and the present with the centenary granite as well as the dignifying and conservation of this beautiful building of the art heritage of Castile and Leon that our ancestors bequeathed us was guaranteed.
