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

The Ermita de la Virgen de Luna stands with a Gothic side entrance and extended perimeter walls within the mountainous terrain of Andalusia.

During the Spanish Civil War, this religious structure served as both a town warehouse and a protective shelter for local residents.

The statue of Virgen de Luna, carved from polychrome holm oak wood and measuring 17.5 centimeters, displays Romanesque artistic characteristics.

The hermitage opens for religious services, annual pilgrimages, and the August Cattle Fair, requiring visitors to verify schedules in advance.

According to local accounts, a shepherd discovered the virgin statue while tending his flock, initially mistaking it for a bird.
