Santuari de la Balma a Zorita del Maestrazgo

Around Zorita was a cave (or "Balma") where, according to legend, the Virgin appeared to a shepherd in the nineteenth century. In the cave, a church was built, where it has a stunning view of the landscape all around, including the Bergantes river. This is a really beautiful and mystical place.

So unusual and yet so beautiful a church built into the face of this rocky cliff.

This is one unique church. I can not recall ever seeing a church built into a cave. Great PoV, Jose. V.

Fascinating. It must have been incredibly difficult to build in those days. V
