Agüero - Iglesia de Santiago
The Iglesia de Santiago stands surrounded by macchia at the end of a dust road about a kilometer southeast of Agüero. This isolated place is probably why it is named as well "Ermita de Santiago".
It is a very strange structure and I did not have much information about. At one time within the 12th century somebody had started to build a pretty large basilica (- in the middle of nowhere). Obviously money was not an issue, as gifted sculptors and experienced builders left their marks here. Then - some decades later, the building process stopped, the church was never completed.
No wonder, that the artist/workshop known as "Master of San Juan de la Peña" is even better known under the name of "Master of Agüero". I had seen his works in San Juan de la Peña and Sangüesa, but what he created here are real masterpieces.
Here are the four capitals of the portal´s right side. To the left are two lions tearing a ram to pieces. Next is a female dancer, flanked by two musicians. The third capital depicts a flautist and another very flexible dancer. To the very right are two gesticulating men (one standing, one seated) obviously discussing. Then there two fighting warriors in chain mails. From this pov only one warrior can be seen.
