San Baudelio Revealed​
San Baudelio Revealed is an art installation that transcends conventional architectural exhibitions, offering a unique and profound exploration of the Hermitage of San Baudelio de Berlanga, dating back to the early 11th century. The project, a full-scale reproduction of the historic site located in Caltojar, Soria, unfolds as a captivating journey through time and space. Through meticulous attention to detail, the installation's concept aims to make tangible the intangible aspects of the hermitage, unraveling the intrinsic value contained within its architectural fabric.

In essence, the installation revolves around a series of fundamental three-dimensional sections of the hermitage, each meticulously selected to highlight the richness and significance of the original building and its context. This innovative approach seeks to deconstruct the architectural masterpiece, offering the viewer a nuanced understanding of its structural, conceptual, and experiential complexities.
​
These sections displayed during the installation are not mere physical components but vital elements that embody the essence of San Baudelio. They serve as portals to the hermitage's historical, cultural, and spiritual dimensions. By isolating and amplifying these segments, the installation fosters a contemplative engagement with San Baudelio's heritage and legacy.
