Church of Las Salinas, Cabo de Gata-Nijar Natural Park, Almeria, Andalusia, Spain
Abandoned church of Las Salinas, or Iglesia de la Almadraba, opened 1907, serving as church to the community of Almadraba de Monteleva, built in the 19th century to house salt collectors, now housing only a handful of inhabitants, in the desert landscape of the Cabo de Gata-Nijar Natural Park, Almeria, Andalusia, Southern Spain. The church is built on a platform to keep out water and sand. It has a tetrastyle portico and square tower, with an external courtyard cemetery within the walls. The park includes the Sierra del Cabo de Gata mountain range, volcanic rock landscapes, islands, coastline and coral reefs and has the only warm desert climate in Europe. The park was listed as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1997 and a Specially Protected Area of Mediterranean Importance in 2001. Picture by Manuel Cohen
