Ermita de San Juan de Ciliergo, Panes, Pe�amellera Baja, Asturias, Espana, Northern Spain.
...............................................
The thirteenth century Romanesque church of San Juan de Ciliergo, is located about 500 meters off the roadside heading south through the Picos of Europa towards the village of Potes in Panes. This Romanesque Church was burned during the Civil War.
...............................................
It is rectangular with a single nave and square apse covered with barrel vault and angular offset to the outside by buttresses and a loophole in the southern side. It has slender belfry with two arches and semicircular covers south and west, without decoration. Interesting are the Arc de Triomphe and their hooks inside (decorated with large veined leaves and palmettos), like the sculptural remains of the west facade.
...............................................
It is medium in size, oriented east-west, with a single rectangular nave and slightly lower. The church has a door at the foot, slightly pointed and is off-key. The steeple columns are very solid and large holding two arches and gable top shaped with stone cross terminal. On the southern side of the church there is a second door, which is narrow with a pointed arch.
...............................................
To the right there is a narrow window, missing a top as well as several holes or weep holes in the wall that probably served to support the beams of an old porch. Today although there are still remains of of the porch, it is no longer existant. A low protective wall or railing of masonry remains along the edge of the structures roof or balcony around the south and west sides.
...............................................
The head is reinforced by two angled reinforcements made with large stone. The cornice is stone, molded, and covers two views. On the north side attached is a small unit with a window to the east, which would be used as a sacristy. It is different from the stone church.
...............................................
Inside, the triumphal arch can just be seen through the vegetation that invades the church. It is on two turns, the smooth inner and outer decorated by leaves arranged in a radial form along the dustcover; the same theme adorns the fascia, except the first northern doorpost adorned with a monstrous head of an Engola. On this side there are missing column shafts. The interior of the head has a barrel vault, which starts in a simple run fascia. The vault retains traces of plaster, paint strokes with little reddish color, imitating ashlar. On the north wall a little credence topped triangular digs. The front wall is flat and smooth.
...............................................
The Hermitage of San Juan de Ciliergo was opened for worship until 1936, year in which a fire destroyed the temple during the Civil War, leaving the temple dilapidated and in a perennial state of neglect that now Pe�amellera Baja City Council wants to curb. The last renovations on the ruins of the church, including the Inventory of Architectural Heritage of Asturias, dates back to 1989, when the cover of the apse was repaired.

La antigua iglesia rom�nica de San Juan de Ciliergo, est� situada a unos 500 metros de Panes en direcci�n hacia Potes. Se trata de un templo de origen rom�nico, de finales del s. XIII, que fue incendiado durante la Guerra Civil. Presenta planta rectangular, con una sola nave y cabecera cuadrada cubierta con b�veda de ca��n y contrarrestada al exterior por contrafuertes angulares, y una saetera en el costado meridional. Cuenta con esbelta espada�a de dos arquillos y portadas de medio punto al sur y al oeste, sin decoraci�n. Interesantes resultan el arco del triunfo y sus capiteles en el interior (decoradascon grandes hojas nervadas y palmetas), al igual que los restos escult�ricos de la fachada oeste.
...............................................
La iglesia de San Juan de Ciliergo se levanta en el fondo del valle del Deva, muy cerca de la carretera, a la derecha, a unos 500 m de Panes. Es de mediano tama�o, orientada este-oeste, con nave �nica y cabecera rectangular algo m�s baja. La nave tiene puerta a los pies, ligeramente apuntada, con la clave algo descentrada. El imafronte culmina en espada�a, muy maciza y de gran tama�o, con base, dos arquillos y remate en forma de front�n, con cruz terminal de piedra. En el costado meridional de la nave se dispone la segunda puerta, que es estrecha, recercada de sillar con restos de pintura azul y rojiza, y en arco apuntado.
...............................................
A la derecha se aprecia una saetera, a la que falta la parte superior; varios huecos o mechinales en el muro servir�an, probablemente, de apoyo a las vigas de un antiguo p�rtico, hoy desaparecido, aunque existen a�n sus restos. Un murete perimetral de mamposter�a rodea los lados sur y oeste. La nave no tiene tejado; los muros conservan zonas con enlucido.
...............................................
La cabecera est� reforzada por dos contrafuertes angulares de remate inclinado, realizados con sillares grandes. Tiene una saetera abocinada hacia el lado sur, sin decoraci�n, y una puerta adintelada hacia el norte. La cornisa es de piedra, moldurada, y se cubre a dos vertientes. Al lado norte se adosa una peque�a dependencia, con una ventana hacia el este, que se usar�a como sacrist�a. Es de una piedra distinta a la de la iglesia.
...............................................
En el interior, el arco de triunfo apenas puede verse entre la vegetaci�n que invade la nave. Es de dos vueltas, la interior lisa y la externa decorada con hojas, dispuesta en forma radial, a lo largo del guardapolvo; el mismo tema ornamenta la imposta. Tiene cuatro capiteles, dos a cada lado, trabajados con hojas nervadas, excepto el primero de la jamba norte, con una cabeza monstruosa que engola el cuerpo del capitel. En este lado faltan los fustes de las columnas. El interior de la cabecera tiene b�veda de ca��n, que arranca de una imposta corrida sencilla. La b�veda conserva restos del enlucido, con escasos trazos de pintura en color rojizo, imitando sillar. En el muro norte se excava una peque�a credencia, rematada en forma triangular. El testero es plano y liso.

...............................................
La ermita de San Juan de Ciliergo, a las afueras de Panes, en el concejo de Pe�amellera Baja, estuvo abierta al culto hasta 1936, a�o en el que un incendi� arras� el templo, dej�ndolo en un ruinoso y perenne estado de abandono al que ahora el Ayuntamiento de Pe�amellera Baja quiere poner freno. La �ltima actuaci�n sobre las ruinas de esta iglesia, incluida en el Inventario de Patrimonio Arquitect�nico de Asturias, se remonta al a�o 1989, cuando se repar� la cubierta del �bside. Sin embargo, la intervenci�n municipal proyectada pretende devolver a la ermita el aspecto que ten�a antes de ser incendiada durante la Guerra Civil.

Thank you to the person whom recently purchased this image. The history of this church and its surrounding area is absolutely incredible. I LOVE that my family roots are tied to the Cantabrian region of Spain.
