A solitary stone structure rises above the grain fields northwest of Sasamón. This landmark is known as the Arco de San Miguel de Mazarreros. It stands as the sole surviving fragment of the ancient church of San Miguel de Mazarreros, which no longer exists.
This gateway once functioned as the formal entrance to a church. Now, the church of San Miguel de Mazarreros has disappeared, leaving the arch behind.
Positioned near the Brullés river, the arch remains a singular landmark within the agricultural scenery. It is located near the road to Villahizán de Treviño and is officially classified as a monument in danger.
