Chapel of Saint Fructus, Romanesque hermitage in Carrascal del Río, Spain
The Chapel of Saint Fructus stands on a promontory overlooking the Duratón River canyon, featuring a single nave with blind arcades and stone walls.
Built in the 12th century upon a 7th-century Visigothic foundation, the chapel became a priory under the jurisdiction of Santo Domingo de Silos monastery in 1076.
The site contains anthropomorphic tombs from the 10th century, marking the reconquest period by Fernán González during the medieval Christian expansion.
Visitors reach the chapel by crossing a stone bridge constructed in 1757, which spans a deep natural fissure known as La Cuchillada.
The chapel marks the endpoint of the 80-kilometer San Frutos pilgrimage route that begins in Segovia city and traverses through natural landscapes.
