Castellón de la Plana Hermitage of Saint Mary Magdalene, Religious building in Castellón de la Plana, Spain.

The hermitage stands on a hill alongside the ruins of Castell Vell, featuring stone-carved walls and basic architectural arches throughout its structure.

Construction of the hermitage began in 1451 by Friar Antonio from the Monastery of Santes Creus, incorporating elements from the former Castell Vell fortress.

The structure houses two altars dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene and Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, with 14th-century paintings adorning its interior walls.

Visitors can reach the hermitage by following a marked path through the municipal natural park, approximately 5 kilometers from Castellón city center.

The building was carved into rock where a former castle cistern existed, with its bell tower constructed from medieval barbican tower remains.
