Summary edit

Description
English: Interior view of the cave chapel of Olleros de Pisuerga (Palencia, Spain). This church is the best example of Spanish eremitic movement. Launched its "work" to the XI or X century by mozarabic people which fleeing from Islam arrived in this area, and dug a first place of prayer, in current sacristy, which had (blinded currently) access door and window in concentric circles functions. Then is increase the construction of the temple performing two craft and a third, already towards the end of the XII century header so it fits of full during the years of the Romanesque in North Palencia hatching. Orientation is abnormal, by imperative of sandstone rock that carved outcrop. The craft has North-South orientation and the door opens to the East. Headers, in turn, are diverted to West, from the axis of its ships. The two made craft simulate possess Vault suggested and not lack even the detail of the transverse arches with pointer; notable carving whose sole function is obviously decorative to accommodate the temple to the tastes of the time in was expanded. The four pilasters which tile craft in four sections more the presbytery, only that underpins the choir at the foot of the temple is original. The other three, Tuscan, are 17th and should replace impairment the rock in those places.
Español: Interior de la Iglesia rupestre de Olleros de Pisuerga (Palencia, España). Esta iglesia es el mejor ejemplo de eremitismo rupestre de España. Iniciada su "obra" hacia los sigos XI o X, por mozárabes que huyendo del Islam llegaron a esta zona y excavaron un primer lugar de oración, hoy en funciones de sacristía, el cual disponía de puerta de acceso (cegada en la actualidad) y ventanal que se enmarca en círculos concéntricos.

Posteriormente, se aumento la construcción del templo realizando dos naves y la cabecera de una tercera, ya hacia finales del XII, por lo que encaja de pleno en los años de eclosión del Románico en el Norte de Palencia. La orientación es anómala, por imperativo del afloramiento de roca arenisca en que se labró. Las naves tiene orientación norte-sur y la puerta de acceso abre hacia el este. Las cabeceras, a su vez, se hallan desviadas a poniente, con respecto al eje de sus naves.

Las dos naves realizadas simulan poseer bóveda apuntada y no falta ni siquiera el detalle de la labra de los arcos fajones también con notable apuntado; cuya única función, evidentemente, es decorativa para acomodar el templo al gusto de la época en que se amplió. De las cuatro pilastras que segmentan las naves en cuatro tramos más el presbiterio, solo la que sustenta el coro a los pies del templo, es original. Las otras tres, toscanas, son del XVII y debieron de reemplazarse por el deterioro de la roca en esos lugares.
