Bóveda - Santa Eulalia

Bóveda's particular attraction, however, is the little church of Santa Eulalia de Bóveda, in the basement of a house on the left at the entrance to the village, which has been declared a national monument. The church is believed to have originally been a Roman nymphaeum (shrine housing a sacred spring) which was converted to Christian use. In the center of this underground chamber, which was of pre-Christian origin, is the basin of the spring, and on the walls are paintings of birds, animals and Christian symbols.
