San Baudelio de Berlanga

The Hermitage of San Baudelio de Berlanga ("Ermita de San Baudelio de Berlanga") is a church situated at Caltojar, Soria, Spain, 80 km south of Berlanga de Duero. It is an example of Mozarabic architecture and was built in the 11th century, in what was then the frontier between Islamic and Christian lands.

The frescoes include that of a camel and of a war elephant, which were inspired by Muslim motifs.
