Image of Valdeolivas, not of the place itself.

The interior of the apse of the parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de Valdeolivas preserves 14th-century mural paintings, in a transitional style between Romanesque and Gothic. They depict God in Majesty blessing within a mystic mandorla, surrounded by the tetramorph with the symbols of the four evangelists and flanked by apostles.
