The church of Santa Eulalia de Doriga, located in a rural setting in Asturias, preserves elements of its Romanesque past despite having been completely rebuilt. Its simple doorway, with a semicircular arch and typical late Romanesque decorations, reflects the influence of this architectural style in the region during the 13th and 14th centuries. Inside, there is a Calvary that fuses Romanesque elements with Gothic innovations, showing the transition between both artistic styles. This sculptural ensemble presents an iconographic hierarchy, where the Gothic Crucified, with expressive details and more advanced techniques, contrasts with the Romanesque figures of the mourners, which show a greater rigidity and a more traditional aesthetic. This mixture of styles makes it difficult to precisely date the works, which probably date from the 13th or 14th century, and highlights the artistic and historical richness of the church of Santa Eulalia.
Through its architecture and sculptural ensemble, this church offers a fascinating testimony of the evolution of sacred art in Asturias. Its Romanesque façade and the Gothic Calvary represent a synthesis of stylistic traditions and techniques that characterize medieval artistic production in the region. The church of Santa Eulalia de Doriga, although rebuilt, retains elements of its Romanesque past that make it stand out in the context of the Primitive Way.
