Church of San Pedro de Tejada, Burgos

The Church of San Pedro de Tejada is an important example of Spanish Romanesque architecture. Located in the Valley of Valdivieso, part of the region of Las Merindades in the Province of Burgos, it served a monastery which may have already existed at the beginning of the 9th century. The present church was built in the 12th century. It is the only surviving element of the old monastic compound, and is described in Spanish as an eremita or hermitage.
