The interior predominates in this construction, with its vault so high that it gives way to light, which matches the light colors of the church, as well as the embossed walls, which attract the attention of those who visit it.

Due to its origins linked to the Paleolithic era, it is very common to find vestiges of the life of that time in the villages of Almeria.

Such is the case of the Caves of the Rock of the Virgin, located in the municipality of Nacimiento. There are five groups of paintings in outlines drawn on the stone walls that are part of the hill that is in front of the town of Gilma. Among the paintings, we can identify some four-footed animals and anthropomorphic forms that have a great anthropological value.
