Ruta de las Caras, Outdoor sculpture gallery near Buendía, Spain
The Faces Route features 20 stone sculptures carved into sandstone cliffs along a 2-kilometer path next to Buendía Reservoir.
During the 1990s, sculptor Eulogio Reguillo and ceramist Jorge Maldonado created these rock carvings without using molds or preliminary sketches.
The sculptures incorporate religious and mythological figures from diverse traditions, including Krishna, Maitreya Buddha, and local Christian imagery.
The circular trail takes about one hour to complete and remains open year-round with free access for visitors near the Sierra de Altomira.
Each sculpture responds differently to natural light throughout the day, while some pieces become partially submerged when reservoir water levels rise.
