The collegiate church of San Pedro de Cervatos, is located in Cervatos, in the municipality of Campoo de Enmedio (Cantabria) and was built around 1129 according to one of the sides of its portal and next to Santillana, Castañeda and San Martín de Elines They are part of one of the four collegiate churches built in the Romanesque style in Cantabria, although this one, in particular, has some of the erotic and perhaps most explicit scenes of the time, with great realism and expressiveness.
The temple is located at the top of the small town, and is made up of a single nave with a semicircular apse and a tower attached to the gable wall. The decorations with intertwined leaves with five petals are one of the characteristics of this collegiate church. The monumental sculpture is very iconographically rich, highlighting the great variety of erotic motifs.
