Église rupestre de Cadalso

The sandstone church features a single rectangular nave covered by a barrel vault and ends in a quadrangular apse higher than the nave itself.

The religious structure dates from between the 7th and 10th centuries, during the period of Christian expansion in northern Spain.

The church belongs to a network of over fifty rock churches across Valderredible, representing early Christian architectural techniques in the region.

The structure maintains its original semicircular triumphal arch and contains two medieval tombs carved into the rock outside the building.

The church displays traces of an ancient porch on its facade and contains both round and rectangular windows in its header section.
