Church of the Immaculate Conception, Hontanas

Highlight • Religious Site

Church of the Immaculate Conception, dependent on the parish of Castrojeriz in the Archdiocese of Amaya, Diocese of Burgos

The parish church of Hontanas, presided over by a tall and strong tower, is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception. It was built primitively in Gothic style, in the fourteenth century, although neoclassical reformed with the passage of time. It houses a Baroque altarpiece by the mountaineer Fernando de la Peña. Inside there is a beautiful copper processional cross with enamel and figures from the thirteenth century, the style suggests that it is Spanish manufacture, late Romanesque style.

Entrance to Castrojeriz

Highlight • Settlement

The entrance to Castrojeriz via the Hontanas road is one of the most iconic routes along the French Way of St. James. Leaving Hontanas, the landscape is an open Castilian plain, and after a few kilometers, the impressive silhouette of Castrojeriz appears, dominated by its castle at the top of the hill.
