The capital of Roland and Ferragut

Curiosity · Barrios de Colina, Montes de Oca, Burgos

Image of Barrios de Colina, not of the place itself.

Among the sculpture of the monastery a capital is preserved with the combat of the knight Roland and the giant Ferragut, an episode of the Carolingian cycle that the literature of the Camino de Santiago spread along the whole route and that here was carved in stone.
