Hermitage built at the foot of Cerro Almirez in the Sierra de las Estancias. The decision that the hermitage is located in that area is because it is located on the industrial estate. When the work was projected, this area had a lot of production and abundant workers, and that was the reason why it was done in that place, so that the Christ would offer them his protection. The first stone of the hermitage was placed by the residents who at that time were the oldest in the town, José Mena and Carmen González, who were then 103 years old.

In the square of the hermitage is the image of the Christ of the Good Death, a sculpture carved in Macael White Marble in one piece and of singular beauty.

The Hermitage of Cristo de la Buena Muerte in Olula del Río, Almería, is a very characteristic and significant place. The sculpture of the Christ of the Good Death is carved in white Macael marble and made in a single piece. Its beauty and uniqueness make it a point of reference for people who follow the Christian religion.
The hermitage is located in a special location, facing the town of Olula del Río, to which it dedicates its protection and shelter.
