San Juan de Baños
A Visigothic church from 661 AD in Baños de Cerrato, one of the oldest still standing in Spain.
Area: Baños de Cerrato
The church of San Juan Bautista, in Baños de Cerrato, was founded in 661 AD by the Visigothic king Recceswinth. It is one of the oldest churches still standing in Spain and a jewel of Visigothic art.
It is small and sober, yet impressive for its age and the harmony of its horseshoe arches. The visit is short, so it pairs well with a tour of the Cerrato area, famous for its roast lamb and cheese.
Before you go, check visiting hours and conditions, which may vary.
