Ermita de San Ambrosio, Archaeological ruins in Barbate, Spain
The Ermita de San Ambrosio features stone walls with horseshoe arches, wooden beams, and a rectangular apse that demonstrates early Christian architectural principles.
Built in 644 by Bishop Pimenio on the foundations of a Roman villa, the hermitage underwent Mudejar renovations that modified its original Visigothic structure.
The site contains archaeological findings from multiple periods, including the Iron Age and Roman Empire, reflecting the evolution of religious practices in Andalusia.
The ruins, located at coordinates 36.2148125, -6.0025084, belong to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cadiz y Ceuta and maintain protected status as Cultural Heritage.
Behind the apse lies a pool structure that researchers suggest functioned as both a baptistery and a connection to the pre-existing Roman villa.
