Hermitage of Agón

Monument · Agón, Campo de Borja, Zaragoza

The hermitage of Agón, dedicated to Nuestra Señora de Gañarul, stands in the depopulated hamlet of Gañarul, on a site where there had previously been a castle of which the village preserves remains. It dates from the 16th century, with its characteristic Mudéjar tower recently restored, and is a simple, small building with a single rectangular nave of three bays covered by a modest ribbed vault, brick walls with a zigzag decorative band and an arched doorway opening in the south wall, beneath a gabled roof. It was declared a Bien Catalogado del Patrimonio Cultural Aragonés in 2002 (a heritage-listing category under Aragón's cultural heritage law), and despite the restoration it remains on the Red List of Heritage at Risk of Hispania Nostra (a list kept by that Spanish heritage foundation).
