And the truth is that now we can confirm that there is much more than a heritage site, because in this visit you can stroll through a charming village, among well-preserved stone buildings that make up a beautiful set of rural architecture, as you can see at the end of this video attached.
Specifically, Pe帽alba de Santiago is located in the mountainous area known as Tebaida Berciana, a very isolated and difficult to access place where from the 6th century onwards Christian hermitages were established in search of a place of retreat to dedicate themselves to meditation.
History tells us that, in the 7th century, St. Fructuosus founded a small oratory in what is now known as the Valley of Silence, and later, in the 10th century, St. Genadius founded the monastery of Peñalba in memory of St. James the Apostle.
Of this monastery, over the centuries has been preserved only the building of Mozarabic architecture, which is known as the church of Santiago de Pe帽alba, and which you will be able to visit on your trip to this charming village.

El abad Salomón promovió la construcción de la iglesia en la primera mitad del siglo X, época de prosperidad en el Reino de León. Fue terminada en el reinado de Ramiro II, que amplió los límites de su reino más allá del río Duero. Ramiro II hizo múltiples donaciones a la iglesia y al monasterio.
La decoración de la iglesia es una mezcla de elementos celtas, incluyendo símbolos lunares y astrales; influencias bizantinas que se aprecian en su planta de cruz griega; elementos árabes, especialmente una pequeña cúpula de techo de paraguas que cubre el altar principal; e influencia mozárabe, que se aprecia en sus famosos arcos de herradura.

The access door is the most suggestive element of the exterior. It is located on the south side and is constituted as a biforous opening with two pronounced horseshoe arches, in the caliphal style, with an alfiz frame. The central mullion and the lateral columns are of marble and their capitals show Mozarabic forms, that is to say, imitating the edges of the Roman Corinthian capitals but in a more schematic and simple way.
The second denomination comes to postpone the first as a consequence of the fact that many of these churches were not built by Mozarabic emigrants from Al-Andalus (others were, but not all) and that the architecture of these temples of the 10th century in the Castilian plateau is a recovery of Late Antique and Hispano-Visigothic architecture rather than of Caliphal influence.
