Church of San Jorge

About the place

Church of San Jorge is a neoclassical church built in 1890 in Las Fraguas. The structure imitates a Greek peripter, with a columned facade and precise symmetry. The surrounding landscape is quiet and austere, with misty hills and endless pastures. The church creates a striking visual anomaly, blending classical Greek architecture with the Cantabrian countryside. It represents a cohesive and impressive architectural ensemble, evoking a sense of an almost extraterrestrial landscape.
