Ermita de la Pietat, Hermitage church in Ulldecona, Spain
The Ermita de la Piedat is a hermitage that blends Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles in its stone structure. The three periods are visible in the walls and roof, revealing how the building changed over several centuries.
Construction started around 1300, establishing a religious site in the medieval region. Over time, new sections were added and modified, creating the mix of architectural styles visible today.
The name refers to compassion and mercy, reflecting the spiritual values of its founding era. Visitors can observe how locals still visit it as a place of pilgrimage, particularly during religious holidays.
The hermitage sits about 5 kilometers from Ulldecona and is accessible by road. It is a quiet place without regular visitor facilities, so checking local conditions before your visit is wise.
Nearby sits the Abric d'Ermites cave, which holds prehistoric paintings recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. These artistic works reveal human activity from thousands of years before the hermitage was built.
