The church of Santa María de Berducedo, located in the parish of Berducedo, Asturias, is on the Primitive Way of St. James. Built in the XIV-XV centuries, this church has undergone reforms and modifications over time. It has a rectangular floor plan with a single nave and straight chancel, covered with a continuous vault on the inside and a three-sided roof on the outside. It is notable for its two side chapels, a portico on the west side and a 19th century belfry on the east façade.
Next to the church is a yew tree, an ancestral symbol of the region. In the past, the church of Santa María de Berducedo also functioned as a pilgrims’ hospital, providing shelter and care for pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. Its strategic location on the route of the Primitive Way makes it a point of reference for pilgrims and a historical testimony of the Jacobean tradition in Asturias.
