Iglesia de San Bartolomé
tipo de documento semantico attraction
The Church of San Bartolomé is the oldest in Logroño. Built of ashlar stone, its elevation corresponds to the 12th century, conserving the central semicircular apse and the decoration on the capitals typical of the churches along St James' Way. To be especially highlighted is the carefully carved ogival Gothic doorway. Its Tower was part of the city's defensive system, part of the walls that were extended as the town centre grew. Thus, the first two sections of the tower are of ashlar like the Church and the wall, and the next two are of stone decorated with small Mozarabic tiles.
