Excessive Romanesque style architecture
Traveling westward in Spain ~ Leon (region)
This example of the Transitional Romanesque style has a floor plan with a single nave covered by a barrel vault. Its most interesting element is the south facade known as the "Puerta del Perdón" or "Gateway of Forgiveness". Its origins date back to 1186, when the Bishop of Astorga received a papal bull authorizing the construction of a church.
