Basílica de San Ambrosio

Today: Ermita de San Ambrosio, Barbate

Place: San Ambrosio (Barbate)
Kind: Church
Built: c. 644
What remains: Ruins

It is attributed to the year 644 and to the initiative of bishop Pimenius, though the date has been questioned in recent scholarship. Of the Visigothic fabric there remain the rubble-and-ashlar walls of its single nave up to the level of the imposts; above that they are of rammed earth and later. It lies in open country near the Breña natural park, completely abandoned, and the article itself warns that it is very hard to find.
