Church of Santalla de Bóveda de Mera, Archaeological site in Santalla de Bóveda de Mera, Spain
The rectangular temple contains a central pool covered by a barrel vault and features two columns preceding the facade entrance.
Originally constructed in the 3rd century as a sanctuary to goddess Cybele, the structure was later converted into a Christian temple dedicated to Saint Eulalia.
The underground crypt preserves ancient murals depicting birds and vegetation, representing the largest collection of Hispanic Roman paintings from that period.
Located 14 kilometers from Lugo city, the archaeological site opens Tuesday through Saturday with guided tours available by phone reservation.
The temple features the oldest horseshoe arch used as a structural element in Spanish architecture, dating from the 5th or 6th century.
