Church of Asín

Monument · Asín, Cinco Villas, Zaragoza

Church of Santa María del Rosario, in Asín (Cinco Villas), a Romanesque building from the late 12th and early 13th centuries declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection) in 2001. It has a single nave covered by a barrel vault and a semicircular apse; in the 16th century two chapels were added on either side of the first bay of the nave and a structure at the foot serving as a sacristy. The fabric is of well-squared ashlar on the walls and stone slabs on the roofs, with very sober exterior decoration except for the south portal, formed by three archivolts and a tympanum with a chrismon. Inside it preserves Gothic mural painting in the apse semi-dome; the roofs have been fully restored.
