Ermita de la Santa Creu d'Alacant, Hermitage church in Santa Cruz district, Alicante, Spain
The Ermita de la Santa Cruz stands on Mount Benacantil, featuring a modest stone structure with a central cross and decorative mosaic tile panels along its path.
The hermitage was established after the discovery of a cross in the late 19th century and received its consecration on March 16, 1884.
The hermitage houses an image of the Agony of Christ that participates in two annual processions to different churches during religious celebrations.
Visitors can reach the hermitage through Pasos Street, which includes several small chapels leading up to the main structure at the mountaintop.
The site combines religious architecture with natural elements, positioned on Nia natural site overlooking the Mediterranean coastline and urban landscape.
