The place the altar and the organ was taken from a track for skaters, so-called Halfpipe. Also in this church in the town of Llanera Spanish people can admire, perhaps one of the most modern murals, which we could not have ever imagined to be placed in a former place of worship.

A Spanish association of skaters in town bought the former church and made it unrecognizable. Instead of frescoes there were painted saints in avant-garde forms, truely colorful. The author, Okuda San Miguel says that the work that he carried out is a personal Sistine Chapel.
