Church on the Camino de Santiago in the Palencia town of Frómista, founded
by Countess Mayor of Castile. With its three stepped apses, its two
cylindrical towers and the octagonal lantern over the crossing, it is the
textbook of full Spanish Romanesque: Latin cross plan, barrel vault,
historiated capitals and more than 300 carved corbels under the eaves. The
drastic restoration of 1894-1904 has its critics, but it is the reason the
building can be seen whole.
