Mare de Déu de la Roca de Mont-roig

The sandstone hermitage stands on red rocks at 41.09466 latitude and 0.93771 longitude, integrating with the natural formations of La Roca mountain.

The religious structure dates to the 13th century, with documentation confirming its presence, though local narratives suggest activities at the site from the 12th century.

The Virgin Mary celebration on September 8 features the Coques dance, a traditional jota performance specific to the Mont-roig del Camp region.

The hermitage contains a hostel managed by custodians who maintain a restaurant and provide accommodation for visitors throughout the year.

Several natural water sources emerge near the building, while the GR-192 trail connects the hermitage to Mont-roig del Camp in a 25-minute walking distance.
