Ermita de Santa Justa

The Santa Justa Hermitage stands partially excavated into the rock of an anticlinal formation, featuring two masonry stone walls and a single-slope tile roof.

Built in the sixteenth century, the hermitage received consecration through relics of Saints Justa and Rufina, becoming one of the first pilgrimage sites on the Cantabrian coast.

Local residents gather at the hermitage during religious celebrations, maintaining traditions that connect the community to its spiritual and historical foundations.

The hermitage location at coordinates 43.425278, -4.097778 requires sturdy walking shoes to access the paths leading to this coastal religious structure.

The structure integrates directly into the cliff face, with the remains of San Telmo Tower standing above it on the rocky precipice.
