Ermita de San Miguel de Liso, Chapel in Biel, Spain
The Ermita de San Miguel de Liso is a small Romanesque chapel near the ruins of the abandoned village of Liso, in Biel, Spain. A defensive tower stands on the northern side, and the remaining stone walls show rounded arches typical of 12th-century construction.
The village of Liso appears in records from the 11th century, and the church was built in the 1100s. By the 16th century, residents had left and moved to the nearby village of Fuencalderas, founded in the 1300s, leaving the chapel behind.
The chapel is reached by a narrow road that ends close to the site, requiring a short walk on uneven ground. There are no facilities on site, so bring water and wear sturdy shoes, and dry weather makes the path much easier to follow.
A spring in front of the chapel carries the name of the saint and has been used by travelers for centuries. It is still accessible today, making it one of the few parts of the site that remains in active use.
