Two caves dug in the rock with a half-point barrel cover, both dating back to the 9th century and correspond to the hermitages that used the Mozarabic Christian population in Arab territories. In the largest of the caves you can see rooms where the main altar would be and has a rectangular plan facing east, it has a very simple barrel vault and a shallow apse. In its north and south sides open two openings that give access to the other two ships and the main entrance of the set is on the west side. villanuevadealgaidas.es/6637/ermitas-rupestres-mozarabes
