This summer I have the opportunity to visit this church, in Frómista (Palencia, Spain). Built in the 11th century in Romanesque style, it is located on the Way of St. James to Santiago de Compostella.

One of the most amazing features are the 300 modillions all around the church.

Inside the church, there are also interesting capitals...

Beautiful building! A friend is/was traveling in Romania and posted a similar shot of a church. Some of the architectural detail is very similar.

Nice job on the photos. Especially for the tiny details.
