Ermita medieval de San Miguel de los Fresnos

The granite structure measures 17.80 meters long, 9.70 meters wide, and 6.50 meters high, standing at 575 meters above sea level.

Built during the 7th century, the hermitage incorporates elements from Roman and Paleochristian materials sourced from the nearby Nertobriga settlement.

The central niche housed a statue of Saint Michael created by sculptor Lorenzo Mercadante de Bretaña before its transfer to the National Art Museum of Catalonia.

The hermitage is located six kilometers northeast of Fregenal de la Sierra, accessible through the area known as Huerta de San Miguel.

The building combines Visigothic and Gothic architectural styles, featuring horseshoe arches and pointed barrel vaults supported by attached columns and buttresses.
