1: Description of the existing building :

The "shrine" at present, in a state of total abandonment, is reduced to a header that is still standing, consisting of three semicircular apses covered by vaults furnace bottom. The three vaults above end, in elevation, in an arc with the same radius as the triumphal arch, separating the head from the rest of the ship. The square comprising four arches are covered by a roof or corner monastic cloister, whose nerves started from the meeting of two arches supported by stone corbels in the form of a truncated pyramid. Nerves in the main vault and cloister are built of blocks of stone thin and great song, which explains why they have endured for centuries the great weight of the roof that seems made of filler material.

The stone masonry walls are light (sinter) together with lime mortar, and arches of the apse and the triumph of solid brick.

brick was not used exclusively by Arabs, so it is not sufficient grounds for undetermined as Mozarabic, since neither in forms or types of answers sets the style and earlier, the Romans used it in most of its buildings, both public and private.

In the center of each of the apses there are three splayed windows crumbling, yet there is no trace of them and yes archivolt based building blocks of stone similar to those can be seen in the arches of Roman buildings, both of the Eastern Empire and the West, for example in the Imperial Palace of Byzantium or the remains of the walls of Constantinople.

Under the floor of the head of the building there is a crypt with a Greek cross, settled with barrel vaults and groin in the game. They are made of brick and coated with lime mortar. The crypt is illuminated by three embrasures, one in each of the apses.

whole description has been made so far is only the head of the building, located in the eastern part of it. The building is oriented, as most Roman religious buildings of the west ledge. The main hall has a length of 23 m. and the same, is attached another body in the southern part of the same length and should go to meet the fourth lobe, still standing, that ends the header. All this means that the approximate dimensions of the building were of 30 m. long and 10 wide. Presumably, the main body was composed of a single ship, as no fragments were observed inside of pillars, which would suggest a wooden deck. As for the side walls of the nave, are made, also, of masonry, as seen in a cloth that still remains.

As you can see, the dimensions of the building, contrary to what can be inferred by its generic name like "chapel", are not as small as they say in some writing and sufficient to serve a population of some entity as seems to guess the extent of the remains found in the town of Cesme.

After this analysis can lead to road conclusions and some questions that should dispel the authorities on the subject.

• There is absolutely no indication in the Romanesque style in the construction described, nor in the type of floor of the building or walls, or in their windows or on their decks, so do not be attributed to Roman times after the S. Cuenca XII.
• You can not attribute a Visigothic descent because those did not provide any new construction techniques (the unknown). His contribution, from the architectural point of view, was limited almost exclusively to introduce stone and ornate capitals.
• Mozarabic There is no affiliation and for the reasons stated above, in connection with the use of brick and because in the area, although there was a strong foothold in the kura Arabic of Santaveriya (Santaver, Ercávica) in Cañaveruelas, people who occupied these lands were Berbers, inhabitants of the Rif mountains of Morocco, with dedication secular culture grazing and poor that has left no other singular architecture as described even in Santaver, despite being the capital of that, call it, a province that included Arab and the lands of Albendea and Priego. Moreover, the low period of the conquest of Cuenca by Minaya Alvarfanez 1,085, barely 20 years, seems to me insufficient to build a unique building as described.

dismissing these possibilities, we are left only turn back time and go to the last dates of the Roman occupation.

Late S. IV, the Roman Empire, formerly divided into two, had been reunited by Theodosius the Great, son of a landowner in the central plateau. Those times are the remains of a Byzantine basilica clear influences that are currently excavating Carranque (Toledo). Among the remains found there, and those described in this article show certain similarities in the plant (with semicircular apses as in our case) and mating systems and constructive of both buildings. Mother, a renowned general of the empire of the East and uncle of that emperor was, apparently, the developer of the construction of the basilica in his later years. Once removed from the battlefields back to the lands that were born in the area of \u200b\u200bBatres and possibly were the same light he saw himself Emperor Theodosius.

It thus appears that the influence of construction techniques, they who came from Byzantium to Hispania and more easily to our land near Toledo. Either way, the floor of the building studied closely resembles the many known examples of Byzantine architecture, both in plant solutions as vaults, windows or building materials. Similarities that are, relatively speaking, from the vaults of the same Hagia Sophia, or the tanks of Byzantium, in the defensive walls of Constantinople in the Imperial Palace in the churches of Santa Irene or of Saints Sergius and Bacchus, Saint Demetrius of Thessaloniki and the Theotokos in Constantinople. Specifically, the crypt reminiscent in form to the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia built between 425-433. Asked

this hypothesis with Doña Concepción Poyatos Butler, an expert Roman archaeological sites, a descendant of La Frontera and Carrascosa de la Sierra, who has worked for some years in that Carranque digging, and it does at present in the reservoir, and the same Roman, Claudia Baelo in Cadiz, I was fully confirmed this hypothesis in the light of the explanations and several photographs taken in itself " hermitage. "

the environment has a singularity added. Directly across the river Escabas, compared to Cesme, lies a rocky promontory 60 m. between levels with regard to the river, which is called "El Castillo". It remains have been found Celtiberian, something perfectly logical, since by its form corresponds to the type of Celtiberian settlements in the area, what we call "castles" (Castrillo), small forts in which dwelt the people of those times, characterized by its inaccessibility, proximity to rivers and dominant position on a fertile plain or rich area for grazing. In a similar location are the Castle of Seven Counts of Tobar (Bete), the Castillo de La Hoz de Beteta, the Castle Sotarraña Carrascosa de la Sierra, the El Corbatón of Santa Maria del Val or the Llano Castillo of Armallones (Guadalajara).

We, therefore, with a real history lesson at hand, accessible, within the municipal area and close to Priego Albendea immediately and Guadiela course, this river, which has on its banks one of the best archaeological heritage in Spain, as the one described should add, not counting multiple settlements Celtiberian, Recópolis deposits, and those of the Monastery Ercávica Servitano.

All these data should add to the appearance in the crypt of a baptistery flanked by Doric columns that definitely seems to confirm the age that is assumed to "chapel", the late S. IV.

This impels us to affirm that we have a unique piece of architecture in English: -CHRISTIAN RELIGIOUS BUILDING THE OLDEST STANDING OF SPAIN .

2 º : Action which aims :

Given the singular importance of the "shrine", both from a historical standpoint, and from the archaeological, architectural, etc, an immediate and very urgent, given the deteriorating state of the head of the existing building is to protect it so that it can ease the progress of that damage.

Given the responsibility that comes with any kind of action is necesaria la presencia de un arqueólogo para el examen y control de toda la actuación. Para ello propongo que se haga cargo del cometido necesario a Dª Concepción Mayordomo Poyatos, arqueóloga, que al margen de muy experta en la arqueología de la comarca por su ascendencia de la misma, ha excavado en yacimientos romanos en Israel, y lo que es más importante, en Carranque (Toledo) durante 4 años, a las órdenes de D. Dimas Fernández Galiano, director de la excavación, y actualmente y desde hace tres años en el yacimiento, así mismo romano, de Baelo Claudia en Cádiz.

La actuación que se plantea es la construcción de un edificio totalmente diáfano, de metal structure, consisting only of pillars and a roof. The enclosure would consist of a metal gate from the outside so you can see the building.

Cover, with which we intend to avoid the effects of rain, snow and its nefarious effects due to humidity and Hellas, Moorish tiles would end in "Old Red."

Since the total remains of the building are inscribed in a rectangle of 30x10 m. to safeguard the building would have a plant protection of 40x15 m. Thus avoid any impact on potential archaeological remains. However when carry out earthworks for the excavation would be made by hand in anticipation of the appearance of debris that we ignore at this time and under the supervision of the archaeologist responsible. Logically

not be done any sill to the ground left intact in the face of subsequent archaeological excavations.

Building height would be 8 m. to safeguard the existing height of the apses and also facilitate future action on the cover of the same, so that between the coronation of the existing building and the roof is raised, could make their work operators responsible for the future restoration of the roof of the chapel.

The work to be done to raise the metal structure due to the ease with which this type of structure would offer if it became necessary to remove upon completion of the restoration work of the chapel.

In summary, we propose a construction that meet three basic features in my view entirely:

• Able to protect what already exists so you can stop the progress of deterioration of the "shrine"
• done with the utmost clearness so that without impeding the view from outside the existing building, will safeguard access to the curious.
• give it a provisional nature of dignity, so that their possible future removal means no replenishment problem around the state that is considered ideal.

work arises, should in my view, constitute only a first step in acting on the chapel, with the following possible the restoration and rehabilitation of the same
