The Hermitage of the Most Holy Christ of the Veracruz in Los Yébenes (Toledo) is a place of great historical and religious significance, much loved by the local community.
It was built in 1675 by order of the Count of Mora, Don Juan de Távara, as part of a residential complex that included a manor house and a garden.
The hermitage quickly became a center of pilgrimage, thanks to the presence of a miraculous image of the crucified Christ.
It is built of stone and brick, with a single nave and a small bell tower. Its façade is simple and austere, reflecting the sobriety typical of 17th-century religious architecture.
The interior features Baroque decoration, with gilded altarpieces, religious paintings, and sculptures of great artistic value. The main altar, dedicated to the crucified Christ, is the focal point of devotion.

Well preserved chapel of the former monastery, across from the small but interesting municipal museum
