Hermitage of the Virgen de Alarcos
Hermitage of the Virgen de Alarcos, Gothic hermitage church in Alarcos, Ciudad Real, Spain
The Hermitage of the Virgen de Alarcos features a basilica layout with three naves separated by octagonal limestone pillars supporting pointed arches.
Following the Battle of Alarcos in 1195, Muslim forces controlled this region for seventeen years until its recapture after the Battle of Navas de Tolosa.
The annual pilgrimage to honor the Virgin of Alarcos takes place on Pentecost Monday, drawing numerous participants to this religious site.
The hermitage stands 10 kilometers from Ciudad Real, accessible through an opening in the medieval wall of the former castle built by King Alfonso VIII.
The southwest facade displays a nineteen-lobed stone rosette window, which later served as a model for the Cathedral of Ciudad Real.
