The church of Santo Adriano was founded by King Alfonso III and his wife Jimena in the year 891. It has a rectangular floor plan, with three naves separated by semicircular arches on quadrangular stone pillars, a wooden gabled roof and a triple rectangular chancel with barrel vaults, the highest being the central chapel, above which is a room only accessible from the outside through a mullioned window.
The portico at the foot, which consists of three sections, was used in modern times to extend the church.
Of the lateral spaces that made up the ground plan, only the southern one remains, which was used as a sacristy.
The most important decorative remains are the mural paintings, mainly in the main chapel, contemporary with the construction of the church.
A tombstone from 1108, the remains of a marble door, a semicircular arch and a pair of columns with leaf capitals in the triumphal arch have been preserved. The belfry was built in the 17th-18th century.
The church underwent several restorations and remodelling: the first in 1108, in 1950 (by Luis Menéndez-Pidal y Álvarez), in 1983 and in 1987-1988 (by the Regional Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports).
