RE: Visigothic architecture: San Juan de Baños

Beautiful architecture, I have heard that behind a monument is hidden an incredible history and legend. It is interesting to investigate and know places with these because it allows us to know its history and this is interesting, especially the curious ceramic slab that says that anyone who placed his hand on it good luck would be with him forever, wow it sounds interesting. I really enjoyed learning a little about this legend. Thanks friend @juancar347 for sharing with us. Greetings.

I appreciate your comment and evaluation. I think that everything is part of a monumental complex that should not be disdained. Architecture, Art, History and Tradition, allow us to get a little closer to the way of thinking of an era that is practically forgotten, but that constitutes invaluable chapters to understand and value a way of life and an architecture that were precursors of other styles, where the design was changed, to put it simply, but basically, not the symbolic content. The legend of the hand (and I assure you that visitors put theirs every time they enter the church) is modern, but the same does not happen with the water from the fountain that cured Recesvinto's kidney disease, which is historical and It possibly has non-magical properties, as was supposed in the 7th century, but it does have therapeutic properties. a cordial greeting

So it is everything is formed into a single whole, and from each one we know interesting things that leads us to new discoveries and knowledge, which enrich us. Thank you friend for the information I liked to know a little about this great church. Greetings
