The Church of San Pedro Apóstol in El Oso, Ávila, is a parish church dating back to the 16th century. It stands out for its stone architecture, with three naves separated by large semicircular arches and a 17th-century Baroque main altarpiece. ⛪😎
In front of the church, there is the Stone Bear, also known as Verraco Vettón. This stone sculpture is part of the town's Open Air Museum and has great historical and cultural importance.🐻

It is the church of the locality, with origin of the s. XVI.
In front of it, you can see another of the stops of the Open Air Museum: the stone bear or Verraco Vettón, around which there is a whole local mythology.
