Old Hermitage of San Elías and Santa Ana of L'Eliana

Monument · L'Eliana, El Camp de Túria, Valencia

The hermitage of San Elías y Santa Ana de L'Eliana (El Camp de Túria, Valencia), included in the municipal catalogue of protected assets, was originally an agricultural storehouse belonging to the village's Carmelite convent, around 1600. After the Carmelites left, local residents provisionally converted it into a chapel dedicated to San Elías, though it lost importance when the church of Nuestra Señora del Carmen was built in 1894. By the Civil War it had already lost its religious use, and today it is one of the last vestiges of the former Carmelite convent; the building currently houses a restaurant business.
