Abadia del Sacromonte
Abadia del Sacromonte submitted by Maatje : Site in Andalucía Spain Abadia del Sacromonte Granada (Vote or comment on this photo)
This abbey in Andalucía houses caves where utter silence reigns. It is a mystery what they served for and how old they are. It is special to experience. In the last cave there is a special black stone with inscriptions.

The Abbey was built by the archbishop Don Pedro de Castro in the 17th century where the supposed relics of what would have been the first Christians of Granada appeared, among them San Cecilio (Saint Caecilius ), who was made his first bishop, as early as the first century.
