Hermitage of Santo Cristo del Cardon

Tradition has it that a miracle occurred in the year 1484, during the Reconquest, when a painted wooden Christ saved the life of a Christian soldier. As a result, this figure of Christ has been worshipped in a succession of niches over the centuries. It is currently located in a niche in Los Callejones, where it is visited on Wednesday evening of Easter week during the solemn Via Crucis.
