Berlanga, Spain
Hermitage of San Baudelio
12th cent
Mozarab

The Church of San Baudelio was built in the early 12th century at the crossroad of Islamic and Christian territory on the Iberian Peninsula. In typical Mozarabic fashion, this Christian sanctuary integrates Islamic architectural elements and decorative motifs into its design and ornamentation. It is specifically renowned for its mural frescoes.
By the end of the thirteenth century, the church had undergone two cycles of painting, leaving its interior surfaces completely adorned with frescoes. Some of these murals depict the life of Christ while others feature animals, such as the camel, and scenes of hunting, influenced by popular themes and motifs during the tenth century Umayyad caliphate.
