This is a Visigothic church close to Palencia. It was built in the 7th century by the King Recensvinto. It is really small (like the rest of the Visigothic churches), with three naves and a beautiful votive candle. The church is built in stone and the columns in marble. I attended a tour guide of approximately 20 minutes. The entrance fee is 2 Euros.

I was on a short trip to Palencia ,a small historic town where I was surprised to discover a striking cathedral in Plaza de la Inmaculada .I visited the most important cathedrals of Spain in the past ,but I had no idea about the Unknown Beauty .I learnt that the ''old lady''is declared Historical -Artistic Monument .It was a great pleasure to travel back in the 14 th century .From the outside it seemed to me simple and austere ,but once inside I realised its beauty ,admiring the wonderful high altar with the story of Christ in dozens of panels ,as well as other religious elements .I particularly enjoyed the wonderful big flamand tapestries ,they are really spectacular . Unfortunately I didn't have enough time for a serious study .

You need to pay a small admission charge to get in but well worth it. This church is in pristine condition and the stone work and carvings are very unique and interesting. Tour groups come and visit but best seen after they leave to enjoy the church in quiet. Probably can see it in 15-30 minutes unless you want to linger more.
9. Monasterio de Santa Clara
10. Church of San Juan Bautista
