Sepulcro 8, Monasterio de San Zoilo

sketchfab

Monasterio de San Zoilo, Carrión de los Condes, a family-owned condal estate with a rich history. A group of 11 sepulturas in the lower choir of the church, including the tomb of Countess Teresa in the main chapel, are part of this legacy. In the 16th century, these graves were relocated and moved again in the 18th century. During these transfers, some slabs went missing. The lid dates back to the early 13th century and belongs to the first workshop of Carrion. The casket is one of two marble boxes that have been preserved, possibly reused Roman pieces, similar to the columns on the western facade.
