Hermitage of Santa Bárbara de Zucaina

Monument · Zucaina, El Alto Mijares, Castellón

15th-century hermitage refurbished in the 18th, of simple structure with masonry, a bell-gable and eaves of Morisco tradition, located in the upper part of Zucaina, next to the sports court and one of the village's water tanks. Around 1994 residents restored its roof and façade to bring back its original appearance. Until the early 2000s, Palm Sunday mass was celebrated there, followed by a procession down to the square of the parish church, a custom that was discontinued owing to the difficulty of the climb for older people.
