Iglesia de Santos Justo y Pastor


This is a neat Romanesque church near the aqueduct in Segovia. The apse contains a series of impressive frescoes from the late twelfth century, and the tower is home to multiple storks. Definitely interesting.

The storks are fascinating birds. The winter in Africa, and nest in Western Europe during the spring and summer. They build huge nests on towers, to which they return year after year. Also, they apparently find a lot of their food grazing in pastures, something else we saw them doing in Segovia.
