caves of Laño and Santorkaria

Las Gobas is a cave settlement and necropolis situated in Laño, Burgos, northern Spain, dating from the 7th to the 11th centuries. The site features 13 artificial caves. Initially, these caves served both residential and burial functions. Over time, however, the settlement transitioned to solely serving funerary and religious purposes, with the inhabitants moving to a new location in Laño.
