About this spot
The Church of San Juan de Rabanera in Soria, Spain, is a remarkable example of Romanesque architecture with a history that reflects the cultural and architectural evolution of the region. Originally constructed in the 12th century, this Roman Catholic church has undergone several refurbishments, including the addition of chapels, which have added to its architectural complexity and historical depth. A notable feature is the highly sculpted main portal, sourced from the demolished Church of San Nicolás in 1908, which adds a unique historical layer to the building's facade. The church's apse is adorned with flat striated pillars, a design choice that deviates from the more common single arch, showcasing the diversity of Romanesque architectural styles. The interior of the church harmoniously blends Gothic elements with Romanesque window moldings, creating a space that is both majestic and serene.
