Visited the tomb of Saint Domingo today.  He has quite the cult following. Saint Domingo is the namesake of the town. He is best known for his work helping pilgrims circa 1090-1110.  He is also associated with chickens and miracles. 

Museum-Church of Saint Domingo



The church is also the home of many works of art.

This is a puzzle from the 14th century.

Tomb of Saint Domingo is below the church.



We are staying at the refuge across the street which was modernized in 1928.
