Monuments and Art > Hermitage and Chapel

A 16th century church renovated in the 19th century, featuring a tower crowned by a pyramidal ceramic spire. The influence of Islamic art is still evident in its tiling and decorative spheres, which are reminiscent of the Islamic yamur used to adorn the minarets of Muslim mosques. A 19th century overhaul saw it transformed to Neoclassicism. The main altar houses a painting by the Vêlez artist Francisco Hernández.
