Are you passionate about history and the secrets hidden within our churches? I invite you to discover the fascinating iconography of the Romanesque style in Gijón with the expert María Soledad Álvarez Martínez, in a talk that promises to reveal the hidden meaning behind their arches and capitals. 🏛️
