Ermita de la Virgen de Luna

Ermita de la Virgen de Luna, Hermitage church in Villanueva de Córdoba, Spain.

The Ermita de la Virgen de Luna is a chapel located in the mountainous terrain of Andalusia, featuring a Gothic side entrance and extended perimeter walls. The building houses religious services and serves the local community during pilgrimages and annual celebrations throughout the year.

During the Spanish Civil War, the structure was repurposed as a warehouse and shelter for local residents seeking protection. After the conflict ended, it resumed its role as a place of worship for the surrounding community.

The statue of the Virgin reflects local religious devotion and serves as the focal point for community gatherings during religious celebrations and annual festivals. People come together here to honor traditions that have shaped their identity for generations.

The hermitage can be visited for religious services and local celebrations, but checking opening times ahead of your visit is recommended. The mountainous location requires sturdy footwear and visitors should dress respectfully for a religious site.

According to local tradition, a shepherd stumbled upon the wooden statue while tending his flock in the hills and mistook it for a bird at first. This chance discovery eventually led to the establishment of the religious site that stands here today.
