Local tradition in Marjaliza places the martyrdom of Saint Quiteria in the village in the early 2nd century. She is said to have been buried on the outskirts of the town, where the hermitage that bears her name stands today. In her honour, Marjaliza holds its patron saint festivities from 21 to 23 May.
