The Church of San Esteban de Columbrianos, near Ponferrada, is a place of great historical and architectural importance. Its Romanesque style, decorative elements and state of conservation make it a point of interest for lovers of art and history1. It dates back to 1778, and its belfry tower was rebuilt in 1948 after it was struck by lightning and part of it collapsed.
I hope you find this architectural gem interesting! 😊

Sant ESTEVE or ESTEBAN, Saint Stephen, patron saint of this church, is one of the first seven deacons of the original Jerusalem community and, as the New Testament reports, is the first martyr (martyr) of early Christianity. The church commemorates his death on the second day of Christmas, December 26th.
When Stephen expressed his vision of the open heavens, "But he, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked up into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God" (Acts chapter 7 verse 55), the people were so outraged that they drove him out of the city and stoned him.
