Church of San Juan Bautista

The Church of San Juan Bautista or San Juan Bautista de Baños de Cerrato is a stone Early Medieval church dedicated to St John the Baptist in the village of Baños de Cerrato, ancient Balneos, in the province of Palencia, in central Spain.

The church is located in the fertile Pisuerga River valley, near the confluence with the Carrión River. In Roman times, the area offered opportunities for vacations and relaxation, with many private villas dotting the landscape. In Roman times as under the Visigoths, this was an important grain-producing region. Since the coming of the railways the nearby town of Venta de Baños is larger and more important than Baños de Cerrato.
