Church of Santa María de la Expectación, Peñaflor de Hornija

In the heart of [Peñaflor de Hornija, Spain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pe%C3%B1aflo_de_Hornija), the Church of Santa María de la Expectación hides a surprise. Constructed in the 13th century, it has an unusual structure that sets it apart.

The Church of Santa María de la Expectación in Peñaflor de Hornija, province of Valladolid, Castilla y León, Spain, is a testament to the region's remarkable history. Although it dates back to the 13th century, it has undergone renovations in the 17th and 18th centuries. The southern facade, with a wooden porch supported by six columns, retains elements of its 16th-century structure, although no claims can be made about the current state of preservation. Constructed in 1678, the current portico was overseen by Juan Fernández de Serdio.
