Royal Academy of History and Art of San Quirce

A 12th-century Romanesque church with a single nave ending in a semicircular apse, featuring a semicircular window. Later alterations included the addition of a tower and an adjoining chapel.

The façade features rich ornamentation with sgraffito and floral motifs carved into the archivolts framing the entrance to the church.

According to a commemorative plaque, the church was acquired in 1927 by the Universidad Popular, at the suggestion of Professor Mariano Quintanilla.

It currently houses the headquarters of the Royal Academy of History and Art of San Quirce.
