Hermitage of el Calvario de Betxí

Monument · Betxí, La Plana Baixa, Castellón

Hermitage of Betxí set in a natural environment, one of the traditional religious sites of the municipality. It stands to the northwest of the town, near Calle de Onda, within a landscaped precinct of 5,000 square metres that is the only preserved example of its kind in the whole of the Plana de Castellón. The first stone was blessed on 7 April 1755 and the works, after sixteen years, were completed in 1771. In Baroque and Rococo style, it has a centralised plan with a square space covered by a dome on an octagonal drum, from which four equal spaces branch off decorated with gilded rocaille. It belongs to the diocese of Segorbe-Castellón. On entering the precinct, one follows a path forming a Stations of the Cross with fourteen stops and ceramic altarpieces.
