Find out more about Church of Santiago de Traba

The parish church of Traba is located in a lonely place, without houses around it, oriented in the same way as those of the other parishes: head to the east, and façade to the west. The nave and nave were built in the first third of the thirteenth century, although the roof of the second was changed in 1940 for a brick and cement vault. The structural base of the temple is Romanesque, appreciable in the walls, in the vault of the terrace and in typically Romanesque external elements.

The main façade underwent the last reform in 1716, and it is believed that this year the stone altarpiece that covers its entire central part was completed.
