Hermitage of la Virgen de los Afligidos de Alfara de la Baronia

Monument · Alfara de la Baronia, El Camp de Morvedre, Valencia

The chapel of the Virgen de los Afligidos crowns the Muntanyeta de l'Ermita, the roughly 229-metre hill that overlooks Alfara de la Baronia and offers the best views of the town. The building, rectangular in plan and built of rubble masonry, was completed in 1699 and preserves a simple façade topped by a curved pediment with a bell-gable, as well as an attached hermit's dwelling. Inside, covered by a barrel vault and lit by lunettes, with simple Doric decoration and four side chapels, a carving of the patron saint from the late 17th century is venerated. On 8 September, the feast day of the town's patron saint, the image is carried to the parish church, where it remains for eight days.
