Quintanilla de Onsoña is considered a typical Castilian village, with houses made of adobe and wood. Churches, river landscape and historical remains complement this village setting.
Culture
The Iglesia de San Andrés was built in the modern era from bricks and rubble masonry. In the 13th to 15th centuries, the churches of San Andrés, Santo Tomé and San Salvador existed in Quintanilla de Onsoña.
The Abadía de Santa María de Benevívere monastery is located in the surroundings of Quintanilla de Onsoña. The Monasterio De San Zoilo monastery is also located in the surrounding area. The two monasteries therefore have a different spatial relationship to the churches in the village.
History
Near Las Quintanas, opposite present-day Quintanilla de Onsoña, lies a small Roman villa from the late imperial period. The ancient site of Villa Romana La Tejada lies in the wider regional area. The Iglesia de Santiago church is also located in the wider regional area. La Serranilla, in the municipality of Quintanilla de Onsoña, is interpreted as a possible late-imperial necropolis with inhumation burials.
At Las Quintanas, its location opposite present-day Quintanilla de Onsoña indicates a different geographical relationship from Villa Romana La Tejada in the wider regional area. La Serranilla, by contrast, remains connected to the municipality, while the Iglesia de Santiago is assigned to the wider regional area.
The historical references thus range from the site opposite the present-day village at Las Quintanas, through the municipality, to the wider regional area. With regard to the religious buildings, the view extends from the churches of San Andrés, Santo Tomé and San Salvador in the village to the Abadía de Santa María de Benevívere and Monasterio De San Zoilo monasteries in the surrounding area.
