view of church exterior - south view - capital

Scene Description: "La iglesia de San Cristóbal de Ailanes. Se encuentra hundida bastante con relación al terreno que la rodea, lo que le hace perder verticalidad. Lo más destacable, como en todo el grupo del románico de Valle de Manzanedo, es su ábside semicircular de sillería y dos cenefas que lo rodean. También, hay que citar la espadaña románica de los pies y una pequeña portada. Hay una nutrida colección de canecillos, labrados por una mano no demasiado fina en el modelado de las figuras. Aparecen bustos humanos, cabezas y animales de cuerpo entero, etc." [https://m.arteguias.com/imagenes4/ailanes.jpg] [accessed 4 January 2021]
