Santa María de Quintanilla de las Viñas (aka Santa María de Lara) was probably erected at the end of the 7th to the beginning of the 8th century, but the dating is disputed. At least the start of construction is dated to the time before the Islamic conquest of the Iberian Peninsula, as a result of which the Christian population fled to the mountainous regions of the north. In the course of the reconquest, the areas north of the Duero were repopulated by Christians in the second half of the 9th century. In 822 a monastery in Quintanilla is mentioned, which had continued to exist under Arab rule.
In 912, the monastery and the church are mentioned in a deed of donation. In 1038, the church was transferred to the nearby monastery of San Pedro de Arlanza. It subsequently fell into disrepair and parts of the nave were demolished. It was not until the 1920s that the building was rediscovered by the local priest and finally researched.
