Hermitage of Virgen de la Oliva, Patones, Ruinous hermitage church in Patones, Spain.

The Hermitage of Virgen de la Oliva displays Romanesque-Mudejar architecture with a brick apse connected to the main body through a pointed arch.

Built between the 12th and 13th centuries, this religious structure belonged to the Magistral Church of Alcalá de Henares before becoming part of the Complutense Diocese.

Located in the dehesa de la Oliva area, the hermitage stands among several historical structures including the Pontón de la Oliva dam and the Reguerillo cave.

Visitors can reach the hermitage by following the road that connects Patones de Abajo to the El Atazar reservoir, located five kilometers from the town center.

The structure retains only its apse and initial section of the nave, featuring a quarter-sphere vault constructed with masonry and distinctive brick layers.
