Church of Santa Maria de Tera, Camarzana de Tera

The outside of the Romanesque church of Santa Maria de Tera in Spain is interesting because of the combination of colours caused by the mixture of greyish and yellowish tones on its ashlar blocks. Amongst its sculptures, one stands out especially - a 12th century sculpture on the south façade, which represents the apostle St James dressed as a pilgrim with staff and scallop shell.
