RE: Mexican Murals - I Used To Live Here [CCC's Street Art Contest #236]

Difficult to say if it's StreetArt or not. But interesting work with a lot of questions. Just a quick search, it's the painting of Saint Millan in a battle against the moorish in the Monastery of Yuso (source monasteriodesanmillan.com). I learned about this saint thanks to you 😀 Thanks for sharing these pics on The StreetArt Community.

Have a great week

Nice! Thanks for the search. I learned about this monastery thanks to you. Funny, how image search has been around for a while, and I didn't even think about running one. But there's a whole bunch of stuff on this one painting, and the battle it depicts!

Yep the sword of the Saint's sword looks more like it came out of the Lord of the Rings to fight some orcs 😀

Not out of place, since he's already riding a unicorn...

I'd forgotten about the unicorn, but perhaps in Spain at that time it was common to have a fighting unicorn 😀

Hahaha, of course: the antecedent of both bull fighting and the rodeo!
