The church of San Vicente Serrapio it has much more attractive than the artistic value of its Romanesque architecture.
It is the same case that happens with the pre-Romanesque church of Santa Cristina de Lena, also in the same region, in which artistic interest is combined with the beauty of a landscape enclave, with its beautiful location within a mountainous valley.
ThisRomanesque church It was built at the end of the 12th century, in a strategic enclave where it is thought that originally there was already a Roman temple, and where in the year 944 it had as its predecessor a pre-Romanesque church.
