* A great command of the technique in construction

The Art and Architecture of the Repoblación is identified as the third subset of the Hispanic Pre-Romanesque period, by the phases that correspond to the Visigothic art and Asturian art. Its architecture is a summary of elements of diverse extraction, irregularly distributed, in such a way that on occasion elements of paleo-Christian, Visigothic or Asturian origin come to predominate, while at other times Muslim characteristics come to the fore.

In any event, some of the identifying characterizations of this Repoblación ecclesiastic architectural style can be summarized as follows:

* Basilica or centralized plan; sometimes with opposing apses.
* Main chapel on a rectangular plan on the exterior and ultra-semicircular in the interior.
* Use of the horseshoe arch of Muslim evocation, somewhat more closed and sloped than the Visigothic.
* Generalized use of the alfiz (horseshoe arch doorway).
* Use of the twin and triple windows of Asturian tradition.
* Roofs composed of segmented vaults, including traditional barrel vaults.
* Grouped columns forming composite pillars, with Corinthian capitals decorated with stylized elements and cinctures joined to it.
* Walls re-enforced by exterior buttresses.
* Evolution of rafter ornaments to great lobed offsets that support very pronounced eaves.
* Decoration similar to the Visigothic based on volutes, swastikas, and vegetable and animal themes forming projecting borders.
* A great command of the technique in construction, employing principally ashlar by length and width.
* Absence or sobriety of exterior decoration.
* Diversity in the floor plans, certainly the majority stand out by the small proportions and discontinuous spaces covered by cupolas (groined, segmented, ribbed of horseshoe transept, etc.).
