Capilla de Santa Cruz

TIME : 2016/2/19 1:42:47

This tiny chapel was built in 1943 to replace its 8th-century predecessor (erected by Pelayo's son Favila), which was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War. The 1940s rebuilders discovered that the mound the chapel sits on was an artificial one containing a megalithic tomb 6000 years old, now visible beneath the chapel's floor. Visits are guided in Spanish, English or French.
