Church of San Juan de Berbío Location Asturias, Spain The church of San Juan de Berbie Infiesto, in the Piloña council in Asturias, Spain), probably belonged to the monastery founded by Alfonso V in 1005; the Infanta Dona Urraca donated it to the abbot and convent of San Pedro de Leon Eslonza in 1099.
The structure went through several redesigns in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries; the most extensive was in the eighteenth century, who set the current structure with square head and porch trim.
Of the original Romanesque design, all that remains are the basic building layout, the western facade double archivolt and bows and starts from the original facade. Until 1892, it was the parish church for Infiesto.
The church was destroyed by fire in 1936, in which the eighteenth century altarpiece was also burned.
