Small and little-known Romanesque church, very convenient to include on a route between the valleys of Cantabria (Pas and Besaya). Its construction dates back to the 12th century. Characteristics are its belfry, and its original and beautiful statue (to the right of the doorway) of St. Christopher, with the baby Jesus on his shoulders. It also preserves some corbels worthy of being part of a worthy photographic safari typical of the good Romanesque painter ;)

Romanesque church in Cotillo, a town located in the geographic center of Cantabria. Although it was closed and we could not see it inside, it is so beautiful on the outside and with so many details that it is a real gift for the eyes.

A marvel. It is worth visiting the entire Valle de Anievas. (Cantabria).

Royal Palace

The Royal Palace was built in the first half of the 19th century as the Norwegian residence of King Charles III, who also reigned as king of Sweden and otherwise resided there, and is the official residence of the present Norwegian monarch. The crown prince resides at Skaugum in Asker west of Oslo. The palace has 173 rooms.

Until the completion of the Royal Palace, Norwegian royalty resided in Paleet, the magnificent town house in Christiania that the wealthy merchant Bernt Anker bequeathed to the State in 1805 to be used as a royal residence. During the last years of the union with Denmark it was used by the viceroys of Norway, and in 1814 by the first king of independent Norway, Christian Frederick.
