Kaos Temple – Spanish Church Transformed Into A Skate Park
The church of Santa Barbara in Llanera, Spain was designed by a Spanish architect Manuel del Busto in 1912. However, it became abandoned and eventually started to crumble. Fortunately, a group of aspiring individuals from La Iglesia Skate managed to save it and transformed into a public skate park. So, the church of Santa Barbara turned into the Kaos temple and became a favorite destination for athletes.
The street artist Okuda San Miguel turned the walls and domed ceilings of the church into a bright, isometric, paintings. Vibrant murals surround the space, while wrapping the interior in a mesmerizing artwork. Kaos temple forms a sanctuary for both skateboarders and art lovers alike.
