11th century church

Right next to our alberque is an 11th century church with roman architecture. Check out these pics
The circular window in the picture above is specifically designed to cast a beam of light on the statue of Saint Marta on two days a year, the spring and fall equinoxes 
Most churches have one relic, this one has 14
If you look carefully at the model you will see a pilgrim in the lower left and s stork in a nest on the chimney 
The pilgrim in the middle picture is John Paul II and the pilgrim in the right picture is pope Benedict.

Apparently we are in good company
