This 100-year-old church in Llanera, Spain, remained abandoned for decades, until a group of skaters and artists transformed it into their own place of worship: the Kaos Temple, aka La Iglesia Skate (@la_iglesiaskate).

Featuring images of skulls, animals and human faces painted in trippy, kaleidoscopic shapes and electrically vivid colors, the whole structure looks like the epicenter of a DMT trip or a street art Sistine Chapel. Skate collective known as the Church Brigade got together with Red Bull and an online fundraising platform to transform it into a skate park christened “Kaos Temple.”
