The church of Santiago in [[Carrión de los Condes]] (province of [[Palencia]]) was built in the middle of the 12th century. The western façade was built in 1160 and is one of the culminating points of the late Romanesque architecture in the [[Camino de Santiago]].
== The western façade ==
The western façade is made of three [[archivolt|archivolts]] that are decorated with sculpture.
The archivolt in the middle contains 24 [[voussoir|voussoirs]] with scultptures of medieval craftsmen, musicians and dancers, that show with great detail the clothes and instruments that corresponded to each craft.
The sculpted [[frieze]] above the doorway shows [[Christ Pantocrator]] sitting in majesty within a [[mandorla]]. He is surrounded by the symbols of the [[Four Evangelists]], the [[tetramorph]]. On each side of the Christ, the [[Apostles]] stand under small decorated arches.
== The interior ==
The interior originally consisted of three naves but in the current layout, only one nave remains. The small museum contains some religious works of the 15th and 16th centuries.
== Gallery ==
