Location of San Juan de Rabanera in Spain

The San Juan de Rabanera is a Romanesque-style, Roman Catholic church located in Soria, Spain. It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1929.

Construction began in the 12th-century, but the church has been refurbished since, and had the addition of chapels. The highly sculpted main portal derives from the razed church of San Nicolás, moved here in 1908. The interior has gothic elements, but the rounded apse has Romanesque window moldings.[1]
