Loma De Ucieza: Church Art, River Landscape and Festival Tradition

Loma De Ucieza can be explored through specific cultural and landscape details. The sacristy contains a Plateresque cross. Architecture, landscape and traditional festival culture offer different perspectives for planning your trip, which you can weigh according to your own interests.

Culture

The Ermita de Nuestra Señora del Sayugo is located in Gozón de Ucieza. The San Miguel de Gozón de Ucieza church is Neoclassical. San Miguel de Gozón de Ucieza has three naves separated from one another by pillars. The church contains a Neoclassical altarpiece with the Virgen del Sayugo, dating from the 16th century. The Epistle-side nave contains a San Miguel Arcángel from the first third of the 16th century. The Gospel-side nave contains a sculptural altarpiece dating from the last quarter of the 16th century.

The spaces and works can be considered according to their position, style and dating. A visit can focus your attention on individual details, shift it to the structure of the building, or place the dates of the artworks side by side.

Landscape

The Ermita de Nuestra Señora del Sayugo is situated on a small promontory and overlooks the Vega del Ucieza. It towers above the wide, open Ucieza Valley. For spatial orientation, you can read the elevated location, the view of the Vega and the valley as separate reference lines. The landscape details therefore stand as a distinct area of consideration alongside the church-related features.

History

The Puente de Gozón de Ucieza is a bridge over the river of the same name. It dates from the late 19th century. The Ruta a la loma del río Valdeperal begins next to the Puente de Gozón de Ucieza. The structure, river and start of the route offer different points of reference if you would like to bring cultural history and movement together conceptually.

In Gozón de Ucieza, a festival commemorating and honouring the Virgen del Sayugo has been celebrated for more than 350 years. The celebration is traditionally held on the third Sunday in September. The occasion and date can be viewed as distinct facets of the local festival tradition.

Geographical Location

The road approach to Gozón follows the local P-242 road to Bahillo and then the P-240. You can consider the sequence of the roads mentioned separately from the cultural, historical and landscape topics.
