The Hermitage of San Baudelio de Berlanga (Ermita de San Baudelio de Berlanga) is a church situated at Caltojar, province of 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. [1] It is dedicated to Saint Baudilus.

[edit] Conservation

The hermitage housed many frescoes; most of these have been removed, but some have remained. The frescoes include that of a camel and of a war elephant, which were inspired by Muslim motifs.[1]
