Cozuelos de Fuentidueña: Romanesque Architecture, Waterways and Holiday Apartment

In Cozuelos de Fuentidueña, the capitals of the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción show a clear connection to the workshop of San Miguel de Fuentidueña. For a visit, in addition to this architectural detail, you can also explore waterways, festival dates and memorial sites.

Culture

The Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción has medieval origins. Inside, there is a Romanesque baptismal font, and the church has a straight Romanesque apse.

La Minerva takes place on the last weekend in June. The Nuestra Señora de San Roque festivities take place on 15 and 16 August.

Outside the village stands the Ermita de San Roque, a single-nave rectangular chapel. Only three parallel restored walls of the Casa Grande remain today.

The stone Viacrucis in Cozuelos de Fuentidueña is completely preserved. According to local tradition, La Cruz de Olivares commemorates a knight named Olivares.

Architecture, festival dates and memorial sites provide different focal points. You can consider architectural details independently of the dates mentioned and regard local tradition as a distinct form of remembrance.

Nature

The Fuente de las Piojas consists of two ponds fed by spring water, one round and one rectangular. The excess water from the Fuente de las Piojas flows into the Arroyo Cuadrados.

The Ruta del Agua is a walking trail between the springs that feed the Arroyo de las Pozas.

The water-related sites can be understood either as individual landscape features or as a route; you can incorporate these two forms separately into your daily planning.
