Ermita de Nuestra Señora de Cuatrovitas

Ermita de Nuestra Señora de Cuatrovitas, Hermitage church in Bollullos de la Mitación, Spain

Description

Ermita de Nuestra Señora de Cuatrovitas is a hermitage church in Bollullos de la Mitación with three naves separated by rounded arches, flanked by two additional side areas serving functional purposes. The building is marked by a brick minaret standing 14.80 meters tall and measuring 3.25 meters on each side.

History

This building was constructed in the 12th century as a mosque during the Almohad period in Al-Andalus and was subsequently converted into a Christian temple. This transformation reflects the religious and cultural shift across southern Iberia following the Reconquista.

Culture

The interior features a 16th-century tile panel above the altar showing the Virgin of the Rosary ringed by medallions with portraits of the Evangelists. These decorations illustrate how the former Muslim place of worship was repurposed for Christian devotion.

Practical

The hermitage sits roughly 6 kilometers from the town center, requiring a short journey or excursion to visit. Access is best by following local roads that wind through the flat terrain typical of this region.

Did you know?

The brick minaret displays architectural features resembling those of Seville's Giralda, including horseshoe arches and blind arches in its design. These stylistic connections show the widespread architectural language of the Almohad period across the region.
