Pablo Unai Fernández Gómez They are part of the landscape, as much as of history. Hermitages multiply throughout the Spanish geography. They are usually found in hidden places where a certain mysticism is felt, they are usually in direct contact with nature and many keep mysteries and legends that go back to the very origins of their construction. These five spectacular hermitages are only a brief summary of all those that are part of a rich monumental heritage. Hermitage of Santa Margarida (La Garrotxa, Girona) Hermitage of Santa Margarida Hermitage of Santa Margarida. By Santi Rodríguez Getting to this beautiful hermitage is one of the best excursions that can be done in La Garrotxa , especially in spring or autumn. Without a doubt, it occupies one of the most unique locations that could have been chosen: inside the crater of a volcano. Not even Jules Verne's imagination could have come up with a better one.
The hermitage of Santa Margarida was originally Romanesque in style, but it was destroyed by the seismic movements that occurred between 1427 and 1428. Of course, there is nothing to worry about anymore. The last time the volcano woke up was 11,000 years ago (more year, less year). Since then, there has been time for the vegetation Cell Phone Number List to almost hide the fact that we are in a volcano with a crater 2,000 m in diameter . What you see today is a simple temple with a single nave that, according to tradition, was consecrated when an image of the Virgin was found in the same crater. And, although the first historical news is from the beginning of the 15th century, everything seems to indicate that the original construction dates from the end of the 12th century. The excursion to the hermitage is simple and can be enjoyed with the family. The crater and the hermitage of Santa Margarida are part of a broader trail with which to better understand the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park that reaches the Fageda d'en Jordà and the Croscat volcano.
Santa Margarida de Sacot, the hermitage that was built on a volcano in La Garrotxa Cave-hermitage of San Bernabé (Merindad de Sotoscuevas, Burgos) Hermitage of San Barnabas Cave-hermitage of San Barnabas. By Noradoa It can be said that this is a troglodyte hermitage . It is built taking advantage of the entrance to one of the 18 caves that form the karstic complex of the Ojo Guareña Natural Monument , the largest in Spain and one of the ten most prominent in the world. As the centuries passed, the water dissolved the limestone until it formed the caves and the space used for the hermitage. It was first dedicated to San Tirso and later to San Barnabas, and if it is spectacular on the outside, it is no less so on the inside. It presents a unique pictorial ensemble: the natural vault of the hermitage is covered with paintings that narrate the martyrdoms of San Tirso, made in the 18th centuries. Essential guided tours are scheduled to learn all about the history. The route is easy and is equipped with a wooden walkway.
