Ermita de la Salut del Papiol, Romanesque hermitage church in El Papiol, Spain.

The hermitage consists of a single nave with a barrel vault supported by transverse arches and features twin windows on its western facade.

The pre-Romanesque section dates from the 10th century, while the apse and semi-circular absidioles were added during the 11th century renovation phase.

Local residents gather at the hermitage for celebrations on the second Sunday of September, maintaining a deep connection with this religious structure.

The hermitage sits in the Collserola mountain range near Puig Madrona, requiring visitors to trek through natural paths to reach the location.

Originally dedicated to Santa Eulàlia de Mèrida in 1060, the hermitage changed its dedication to Saint Peter and later to Virgin of Health in 1717.
