Nuestra Señora de Tiermes (Montejo de Tiermes, Soria). De una ermita que antes fue monasterio y parroquia

Abstract

The Chapel of Nuestra Señora of Tiermes (Soria), placed on archaeological Roman site, has attracted the attention of those researchers interested in the site, on one hand, and of those devoted to the Romanesque architecture in the province, on the other. It is therefore that the chapel appears currently in a huge quantity of publications, proposing these different hypotheses regarding its origins. Some researchers defend the reuse of Roman or Visigothic materials in the apse of the church, while others think that this cannot be dated earlier than to the Romanesque period. With the aim of confirming or correcting these hypotheses, the main results of the archaeological analysis of the building are here exposed, comparing them with those conclusions coming from previous works.
