Hermitage St Christine of Lena, year 852

Asset Highlights

This 3D reconstruction features the Hermitage of St Christine of Lena (Santa Cristina de Lena), a significant 9th-century pre-Romanesque structure located near Oviedo, Spain. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985, this hermitage is distinguished by its unique architectural layout, which uses a single rectangular space and a barrel vault rather than the traditional basilica plan. The model captures the specific elevated presbytery and the three arches on marble columns that divide the interior, including the re-used 7th-century Visigothic lattices.

Files & Materials

The asset is delivered with high-definition textures and materials derived from photogrammetry, ensuring the weathered stone and historical masonry are represented accurately. It is compatible with standard 3D workflows, including potential integration into Unity or Unreal Engine for historical walkthroughs. To complement a scene focused on Spanish religious history, you may also be interested in the Agrup. Sto. Entierro (Marrajos)- María Magdalena.
