Church of San Pedro de la Nave

This Visigothic church is located in the town of Campillo, 12 kilometres from the capital city. It is one of the first Christian temples. It originally had its location on the bank of the River Esla, but, when the dam of Ricobayo was built, the building could be submersed into its water, so that was why Manuel Gómes Moreno decided to move it, stone by stone, to its current location and build it by the architect Alejandro Ferrant.

Its first design responded to the Greek cross plan, and later two side naves were built that confer its final aspect between the Basilical structure and the cruciform floor. There are three chapels, one in the presbytery that forms a rectangular apse and the other two chapels on the ends of the transept. The central nave is taller and wider than the side ones and is separated from them by arches that lean on pillars. It is covered by half barrel vaults. The arches are horseshoe arches in Visigothic style.

Inside, we should highlight the Romanesque bass- relieves and the sculptures of the capitals with varied figures of vegetables and animals. Moreover, we can find a sundial which is incomplete, but is part of one of the jewels that we can find in this church.
