Palencia - San Pedro de Moarves
by elpariente
Este pequeño pueblo posee una iglesia parroquial románica con uno de los más delicados apostolados del románico presidido por un Pantocrátor sobre la portada con capiteles profusamente tallados de figuras humanas. Es sin duda una de las mejores obras del románico palentino. En el interior tallas góticas de Vírgenes con el Niño, del siglo XIV. ( es una pena que no vimos el pórtico con la luz de la tarde )
This small village has a Romanesque Parrish Church with one of the most delicate Romanesque group of Apostols . Inside there are Gothic images of the Virgin with the Child of the XIV century ( It is a pity that we couldn't see the portico with the last light of the day )
