Ermita de Zamarrilla

The Ermita de Zamarrilla is a Baroque chapel in La Trinidad featuring an ornate facade, elaborate altarpieces, and a bell tower. The building displays typical features of late Baroque style with rich decorative elements.

Construction of the chapel began in 1757 under architects Felipe Pérez Conde and Felipe Pérez 'el menor'. The 19th century saw significant expansion works that transformed the original structure.

The hermitage serves as headquarters for the Brotherhood of Zamarrilla, which organizes processions through Málaga's streets every Holy Thursday. This religious community shapes the spiritual life of the neighborhood with its solemn celebrations.

The hermitage is open to visitors on most days and offers a quiet environment to explore its interior structure. Plan your visit on weekdays when fewer religious events take place.

In 1792, workers discovered a Dolorosa image during construction of a shrine chamber, which became the church's main figure. This unexpected discovery shaped the spiritual identity of the site for generations.
