Possibly built in the 10th century. In the enclave of Clavijo, legend has it that the apostle Santiago, as patron saint of Spain, supported the troops of the king of León who had refused to pay homage to the Muslims of the south who demanded the famous tribute of the hundred maidens.

It is located in the Leza Valley, between Leza on the Leza River and Soto en Cameros. Fairly quiet road and very busy with cyclists throughout the year. Sitting and watching the flight of the vultures in the canyon is a privilege.

This church, built in 1965 by the architect and priest Gerardo Cuadra, is considered one of the most important architectural monuments of the 20th century. It is a rural church in which special attention has been paid to the prioritization of spaces and volumes, light elements and their integration with the rural environment. The main space is reserved for the celebration of worship and is designed so that interest is concentrated on the presbytery and specifically on the altar. The trapezoidal shape of the plant, the roofs and the cylindrical lantern concentrate interest on the altar as a "fundamental liturgical center".
