    Hiking

    The hermitage of San Roque is located on a hill, at the top of Mount Kolitza, on the edge of a precipice trying to maintain balance. At 880 meters of altitude. Although it is already documented in 1111, the chapel that remains standing is the XIII, in which the Cistercian style prevailed.

    Built in ashlar masonry, it has a single rectangular nave, with a barrel vault and apse. The main entrance is under a semicircular arch, with three archivolts resting on corbels with figures. The tower has a single bell and a stone cross on the top.
