Church of San Miguel de Saldaña

Monument · Saldaña, Vega-Valdavia, Palencia

The parish church of Saldaña, documented since at least 1362, is one of the leading religious buildings of the Carrión valley and the usual starting point for the walk through the old town of what was once the head of a merindad. It stands on a plan of three naves separated by cylindrical pillars, the upper part of which ends in a moulding decorated with balls and rope-like carving, a motif repeated at the springing of the arches and on the corbels from which the vault ribs spring. In contrast with its sturdy exterior, the interior holds pieces from the 16th and 17th centuries.
