Church of San Pelayo
The St. Pelayo parish church is one of Pisón de Ojeda's cultural highlights. It is a Romanesque building from the 13th century that was later renovated in Gothic style and restored in the late 1980s.
The original apse is still intact. It is semicircular in shape, made of ashlar masonry, and has a semicircular window with an archivolt on columns resting on plant-decorated capitals. The building was built using sandstone masonry and its dimensions are rather modest.
It has a single Gothic nave, dating from the 14th century, and is structured in three separate sections with sash arches, decorated capitals, and is covered with a pointed barrel vault.
Its chevet has a straight presbytery topped by a semicircular apse that is covered with an oven vault. Separating the two spaces is a pointed triumphal arch resting on a set of columns ending in plant-decorated capitals.
The main festival of St. Pelayo is celebrated on the last Saturday of June with a traditional procession and the erection of an arch of branches in the centre of the town. n.
