Ermitage de Saint-Ferréol, Pre-Romanesque church in Céret, France
The Ermitage de Saint-Ferréol stands on a rocky plateau at 300 meters altitude, consisting of buildings encircled by holm oaks north of Céret.
Benedictine monks from Arles-sur-Tech abbey constructed this religious site at the end of the 13th century, with subsequent reconstruction between 1772 and 1775.
Every September 18th, the local population gathers for religious ceremonies and festivities, continuing a tradition that began after the 1655 plague epidemic.
The hermitage offers parking facilities and lies 4 kilometers from Céret, accessible through a one-kilometer path suitable for vehicles and hiking.
Inside the chapel, a holy water font bears an inscription mentioning Laurent Cros, a hermit who spent 44 years as a prisoner in Constantinople.
