Following a period of Arab sovereignty, the Asturian King, Alfonso III conquered the region of Leon. The Mozarabic church at San Miguel de Escalada was commissioned in 913 under the rule of Alfonso's son, Garcia. This brick and masonry church features a basilica plan with its central nave partitioned from the two side aisles and the apse by colonnades of horseshoe arches. The Asturian Corinthian capitals and possibly Roman or Visigothic columns may already have been in situ. Photo from thais.it/architettura/romanica/
