Ermita de Santiago, Roman Catholic hermitage in Morcín, Spain.

The Ermita de Santiago stands as an octagonal stone structure with a semicircular apse near the peak of Monsacro mountain.

The hermitage dates from the medieval period and contains relics from the Holy Chamber, which according to legend were hidden in Santo Toribio's well.

The structure represents traditional Asturian religious architecture with its stone masonry, buttresses, and barrel vault system in the interior.

The hermitage received restoration work in 1986 and 1989 by the Department of Education, Culture and Sports of Asturias.

Inside the building, visitors can observe an altar table and remnants of mural paintings alongside the Hermit's Cave entrance.
