The paintings of the elephant and the hunts

Curiosity · Caltojar, Berlanga, Soria

Image of Caltojar, not of the place itself.

The walls of San Baudelio were covered in the twelfth century with tempera paintings that mix biblical scenes with hunts, a camel and an elephant carrying a castle, secular iconography unheard of in a hermitage.
