The former collegiate church was declared a monument in 1930. Since 1851, the Colegiate Santa Cruz acts as a parish church. Built in the 12th century, it was part of a monastery that was built in the 10th century. In the Middle Ages, the village was a hub of important roads and pilgrimage routes to Santiago and Oviedo. Particularly noteworthy are the unfortunately heavily weathered, decorated with lions, snakes and geometric motifs pillar capitals.
