Ermita dels Peixets, Gothic Revival hermitage church in Alboraia, Spain.

The Ermita dels Peixets features a rectangular structure with a facade divided into three sections separated by buttresses and decorated pinnacles.

Built in 1901, this religious structure commemorates a 14th-century event where fishermen discovered consecrated hosts in the mouths of fish after a priest fell into the Carraixet River.

The hermitage holds special significance during the annual celebration ten days after Pentecost, when locals gather for processions, masses, and community meals.

Located at coordinates 39.501592, -0.325 near the Valencian coast, the hermitage opens its doors to visitors during specific religious celebrations throughout the year.

A ceramic panel above the high altar inside the hermitage depicts the historical miracle of the fish carrying sacred hosts in their mouths.
