Ermita de San Urbez, Hermitage church in Cañón de Añisclo, Spain.

The Ermita de San Urbez sits against a rocky wall in the Cañón de Añisclo, featuring a semicircular arched entrance and natural rock ceiling integration.

Built between the 11th and 12th centuries, this hermitage marks the location where Saint Urbez, born in Bordeaux in 702, lived as a hermit in the mountains.

The hermitage maintains its position as a primary pilgrimage site in the Aragonese Pyrenees, where processions requesting rain occur throughout the year.

Visitors reach the hermitage through a walking path from the parking area near Escalona, crossing the San Urbez bridge over the Bellós River.

Inside the hermitage, a large stone slab serves as a bed where Saint Urbez reportedly slept, accompanied by a modern carving in a wall niche.
