Paintings hidden behind the high altar

Curiosity · Cebrones del Río, La Bañeza, León

Image of Cebrones del Río, not of the place itself.

When the high altarpiece of the church was dismantled, wall paintings of at least the 17th century came to light, hidden for centuries and restored a few years ago. They are one of the most notable recent finds on the banks of the Órbigo.
