Hermitage of San José

Restore by the municipality in 2004, the hermitage has a covered porch at the entrance, upon which there isa belfry. The most interesting original ornamentation is the shield of the "Ruiz de Castellblanque", a former patron of the place, located in the front wall.

Regarded as the oldest monument of the town, the hermitage was built in the 14th century in a Romanesque style. In the following 16th cencury, two side chapels in Gothic style were added to the edifice, and then a Baroque presbytery in the 17th century. The hermitage was the seat of one of the oldest and still active Brotherhood of Nuestra Señora de la Huerta , founded in the 14th century.

Documented in the 16th century to be governed by the Syndic of the Hermitages in Ademuz, the hermitage was one of the very few religious buildings existing in the region that are of lay foundation. The building is very simple, with a rectangular plan and a single nave, and without side chapels.
