A historic church in the Spanish Municipality of llanera, Asturias is no ordinary place for parishioners. Instead, the site has been made into a place of pilgrimage for athletes after its conversion into an indoor skate park.

At the start of December 2015, artist Okuda San Miguel began work on a monumental, colorful mural which now canvasses La Iglesia Skate’s vaulted ceilings, and window-lined walls. a vibrant display of faceted faces, geometric skulls and psychedelic wildlife encompasses the space overhead, wrapping all interior surfaces in a mesmerizing artwork. Created in collaboration with Red Bull, ‘Kaos Temple’ forms a sanctuary for both skateboarders and art lovers alike.
