Santiago de Peñalba church is one of the Mozarabic architectural jewels. It's situated in the Valle del Silencio (Silence Valley) in the Leonese region of El Bierzo close to Ponferrada in León (Spain). The Valle del Silencio area was full of sanctuaries and monasteries since the 8th century. That's why it was called "La Tebaida Berciana" (Bercian Thebaid).
