The paintings of the Vera Cruz travel to the Prado

Historical milestone · Maderuelo, Comunidad de Villa y Tierra de Sepúlveda, Segovia

The Romanesque mural paintings of the hermitage of the Vera Cruz, of the first half of the twelfth century, were stripped off and transferred to canvas in 1947 in the face of the risk of flooding by the Linares reservoir; today they are exhibited in the Museo del Prado and replicas remain in the hermitage.
