Abstract
The historiography of Romanesque in the province of Soria has three different stages. The former one begins with Eduardo Saavedra’s researches (1856) and it extends until 1934, when Gaya Nuno defends his PhD Thesis ( La arquitectura romanica en la provincia de Soria ), which will not be published until 1946. The Spanish Civil War and the post-war period mark the beginning of the second stage, which is merely transitional, lacking any important contribution. The last stage begins with the publication of the three volumes of the Enciclopedia del Romanico en Castilla y Leon (2002). These works have largely improved the knowledge of Romanesque architectural heritage, enhanced besides by the task undertaken by the technical office of the Cultural Project Soria Romanica (2007- 2012), responsible for studying and restoring more than thirty Romanesque buildings in the Southern part of province. It is within this working frame that the building recording of the churches here presented must be understood. This historiographical assessment about provincial Romanesque does not include those buildings sited in the capital city, the Cathedral of El Burgo de Osma, the Monastery of Santa Maria de Huerta and the hermitage of San Baudelio (Casillas de Berlanga).

Porque desviaría del tema, la que únicamente se apoya en elementos decorativos para realizar lecturas iconográficas y desde ellas inferir conclusiones cronológicas, que será citada solo en la medida en que interese al objetivo de estas páginas, que pretenden dar cuenta de estudios que aborden las fábricas edilicias
Para ello se partía de los numerosos estudios que trataban de la decoración escultórica monumental presente en su galería porticada, básicamente centrada en aspectos iconográficos, y de la abundante documentación arqueológica generada por las diversas campañas realizadas en la ciudad celtíbera, romana y visigoda de Tiermes, sistemáticamente excavada desde 1975, y con muchas de sus memorias publicadas, alguna de las cuales ofreció conocimiento válido sobre la ermita románica de Nuestra Señora (Calvo 1913; Casa e Izquierdo 1978, 1979 y 1992; Casa 1979, 1984 y 1992; Casa y Terés 1984a, 1984b, 1984c y 1984d; Casa y Rodríguez 1990)
