Ermita de Santiago, Roman Catholic hermitage in Morcín, Spain.
The Ermita de Santiago is an octagonal stone structure with a semicircular apse located near the peak of Monsacro mountain. The interior features a barrel-vaulted ceiling, and the exterior walls show supporting buttresses that reinforce the construction.
The structure was built during the medieval period and combines local architectural traditions with religious devotion. According to local tradition, this site is connected to sacred relics that held spiritual significance for the surrounding communities.
The chapel displays the craftsmanship of Asturian stonemasons with its characteristic vaulted ceilings and supporting walls. Visitors today can see how this structure reflects the rural religious life of the region.
The chapel sits at elevation with somewhat demanding access across mountainous terrain. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear and allow extra time to explore the surroundings.
Inside you can still see fragments of mural paintings and an altar that bear witness to its original use. A natural cave is also adjoined to the chapel, forming an integral part of the site.
