Fields of olive trees and the Church of Our Lady of the Incarnation in Sentenil de Las Bodegas #238078451
Description
Pictured are fields of olive trees and the Church of Our Lady of the Incarnation in Sentenil de Las Bodegas, one of the white villages in the province of Cadiz, Andalusia, Spain. The town grew out of a network of caves in the cliffs so that its blinding white houses seem to emerge from the rocks, and some have rock roofs and even olive groves on their roofs. There has been a human settlement here since at least Arabic Almohad period in the 12th Century, and likely much earlier as objects have been found in the caves that are 5000 years old. The church was founded between the 15th and 17th centuries and the architect is unknown.
