Hermitage of la Mare de Déu de la Saleta d'Aldaia

Monument · Aldaia, L'Horta Sud, Valencia

The hermitage of the Mare de Déu de la Saleta stands at the junction of Ventall, Verge del Remei and Hernán Cortés streets, in Aldaia, and is listed as an Asset of Local Relevance, together with the hermitage of San Miguel, among the protected religious buildings of the town's heritage. Its dedication recalls a Marian apparition of 1846 at La Saleta, a mountain in the Alps, and the church was built in 1887. It has a rectangular floor plan, with a sacristy attached at the rear and an enclosed terrace in front of the façade, topped by a bell-gable with a bell. Inside, covered by a barrel vault, it preserves two ceramic altarpieces, from 1960 and 2000, depicting the apparition of the Virgin.
