Description

Columbrianos is a small locality in the province of León, Spain. Historically, it has been a significant resting point for pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. The name Columbrianos is believed to have originated from the Latin word "Columbarium," which means "dovecote" or "pigeon house." This suggests that the area was once known for its pigeon farming, which was a common practice in the Middle Ages. The Church of San Esteban, located in Columbrianos, is a notable historical site in the locality. This Romanesque church dates back to the 12th century and features a beautiful apse adorned with corbels and a carved frieze. The church has been an important place of worship and reflection for pilgrims throughout the centuries, and it continues to serve as a spiritual landmark on the Camino de Santiago.
