Location of San Juan de Rabanera in Spain

Construction began in the 12th century, but the church has been refurbished since, and had the addition of chapels. The highly sculpted main portal derives from the razed church of San Nicolás, moved here in 1908. The apse has flat striated pillars, one of which forms the axis of symmetry, separating two windows with semi-circular arches as opposed to the most common single one.

The interior has gothic elements, but the rounded apse has Romanesque window moldings.[1]
