Hermitage of Our Lady of Somaconcha

Somaconcha is a tiny village currently depopulated, with no more than five buildings on top of the hill that separates the Pesquera valley from the Pujayo valley with a beautiful panoramic view of both valleys and through which the upper section of the Roman road that ends in Bárcena from Pie de Concha.
The most remarkable building in Somaconcha is its hermitage of Nuestra Señora. It was built in the 16th century in perfect ashlar masonry that we see in the nave, the straight head, the small pinion belfry and single embrasure and the sacristy. The austerity with which it was conceived is minimally broken in the south portal, with a semicircular arch framed by an alfiz that gives the hermitage a distant Renaissance appearance, from the middle of the 16th century.

Highest point of the route of the Roman road.
