________ CHURCH OF SAN ROMAN DE MOROSO______

Tucked away in the mountains this architectural gem is very little known, remote in time and space. It is a church of repopulation, framed in a period of expansion of the kingdom Asturleonés, and although it is not known with certainty the date of construction, it should be around the tenth century, perhaps somewhat earlier if, as experts say, was built in several phases. The best stones remind Visigothic buildings, size and design are very modest, and only show the decorative corbels, these and other, related to the churches that have been built in the western part of the kingdom.

The physical setting is where almost bucolic beauty amid an oak forest, meadows and branes. There is a wooden table that can serve as a picnic area on site.

The place is easily accessible by car from Bostronizo, or from Somahoz (access described in the route no. 3 of this site).

The municipality of Arenas de Iguña have a phone where you can request information: 942 82 60 19.

During the summer months it is open to the public. The rest of the year you have to contact the City Council of Iguña Arenas.
