The Arch of San Miguel de Mazarreros is an impressive vestige of the Middle Ages located in Sasamón (province of Burgos, Castile and León):
🏛️ History and Architecture
Built in the 12th century, the arch was part of the Romanesque—and possibly proto-Gothic—church of San Miguel de Mazarreros, which disappeared during the 15th century after the town was absorbed by Sasamón. Currently, this arch is the only visible remnant of the medieval temple.
It is a splayed ashlar doorway with up to seven decorated archivolts, whose capitals have suffered erosion and plundering but still retain traces of original ornamentation.
