Trinitat Hermitage, Hermitage church in Sitges, Spain

Trinitat Hermitage is a small whitewashed chapel on the summit of the mountain that forms Punta de la Ferrosa, east of Sitges. It is built in a popular style, with a modernist construction standing beside it. The building is kept in good condition through constant conservation work.

The hermitage appears in a document from 1375, which records that hermits already lived there. Tradition holds that it was built after a cross bearing the image of the Holy Trinity was found on the site. At the end of the 18th century the roof collapsed; the chapel was rebuilt and enlarged, giving it its current form.

The name comes from the cross bearing the image of the Holy Trinity that tradition says was found on this spot, which led to the chapel's construction. Hermits are documented here as early as 1375. The whitewashed chapel stands beside a Modernista building, and conservation work is carried out regularly.

Access is on foot: one path leaves the N-246 road, and another climbs from the old settlement of Vallcarca. The track is steep and rocky in places, so wear walking shoes and carry water, especially in summer. There is no car park at the chapel itself.

From the summit the view runs along the coast from the mouth of the Llobregat to Cap de Salou, a stretch of the Garraf shoreline visible from no other hermitage in Sitges. Beside the whitewashed chapel stands a Modernista building, an unusual neighbour for a small rural hermitage.
