Ermitage Saint-Antoine de Galamus
Ermitage Saint-Antoine de Galamus, Cliffside hermitage in Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet, France.
The Saint Anthony of Galamus Hermitage stands within natural caves along limestone cliffs at 376 meters above sea level in the Pyrenees-Orientales department.
Franciscan monks transformed a cave into a chapel during the 15th century, marking the beginning of documented religious activity at this mountain sanctuary.
The site holds two annual pilgrimages during Easter Monday and Pentecost Monday, maintaining centuries-old religious traditions in the French Pyrenees.
Visitors can access the hermitage from Easter to mid-November between 12:00 and 18:30, with a 30-minute walk required from the Belvedere parking area.
The hermitage features a natural water basin within its caves that provided drinking water to religious inhabitants throughout its centuries of operation.
