Hermitage of Santa Isabel de Canet lo Roig

Monument · Canet lo Roig, El Baix Maestrat, Castellón

Hermitage of medieval origin, with no documented record but whose structure suggests it, located just over a kilometre south of Canet lo Roig, next to the barranc de Les Planes. It consists of a single nave covered by a pointed barrel vault, supported by buttresses, with a small porticoed forecourt at the foot and an extremely modest façade of flagstone and roughly squared ashlar. Restored, with its surroundings landscaped, it now serves as a picnic area, favoured by large plane trees that cast shade in front of the hermitage; it is a Bien de Rellevància Local (Spain's regional heritage-protection status, below Bien de Interés Cultural), with the category of Monument d'Interès Local. The feast is celebrated on the seventh weekend after Easter Sunday, the one following Corpus Christi, with a pilgrimage, mass, blessing of the parish bounds, distribution of pastissets and dancing.
