Hermitage of San Saturio, Baroque hermitage church in Soria, Spain.

The octagonal church stands above natural caves near the Duero River, featuring a matching dome topped with a lantern and brick bell tower.

The current structure, built in 1694 on the site of an ancient oratory dating from 1148, replaced the former San Miguel de la Peña hermitage.

The hermitage contains frescoes painted between 1704 and 1708 by local priest Antonio Zapata, depicting religious scenes and decorative elements.

Visitors enter through caves beneath the structure and climb stairs through multiple rooms, including the Cabildo de los Heros chamber and balconied viewing areas.

The hermitage houses the remains of Saint Saturio in its main altar, officially recognized as Soria's patron saint by Pope Benedict XIV in 1743.
