The portal of San Miguel de Caltojar

Monument · Caltojar, Berlanga, Soria

The church of San Miguel Arcángel in Caltojar, whose construction may date from the late 12th or early 13th century, is described as transitional Romanesque in style. Its portal displays five archivolts over five pairs of columns with capitals already showing Gothic influence, and the apse is decorated with Lombard arcading. It was declared a historic-artistic monument of national character (a former Spanish heritage designation) on 10 April 1981 and today holds the status of Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection).
