Medieval graffiti from Calatrava la Vieja, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. Late medieval Christian period (15th century CE). They were discovered in 1984, during the excavation works carried out under the direction of the architect Miguel Fisac. They are located in the crypt of the Santa María La Blanca Church, inside the alcazar, and were made with a sharp object in the plaster of the south wall of the crypt. They represent several five-pointed stars, geometric forms and groups of parallel lines. The main motif is a man on horseback. There is also a small human figure in frontal view, dressed in a tunic.
