Hermitage of San Vicente Ferrer de Borriol

Monument · Borriol, La Plana Alta, Castellón

The hermitage of San Vicente Ferrer, a 17th-century building, stands on the outskirts of Borriol, about two kilometres from the town centre, next to the road leading to Puebla Tornesa, in a square with benches, trees and a large stone cross. It is declared Bien de Relevancia Local (local-level heritage protection designation), in the category of monument of local interest. It was built in 1667 and reformed in 1730, on the spot where, according to tradition, the Dominican Vicente Ferrer preached on 14 April 1410. The facade, whitewashed and topped with a baroque single-bell espadaña, displays above the door a ceramic panel with the saint's image, dated 1667. Inside, the stone on which the saint is believed to have preached is preserved. The feast is celebrated on the Monday after Easter, with a pilgrimage from the parish of San Bartolomé to the hermitage.
