Beautiful Hermitage located at the entrance to the town. If you like this style of buildings, do not forget to visit its interior.

The Ermita del Cristo de la Vera Cruz is located in Rabanal del Camino, a small village in the Bierzo region, in the province of León. Built in Baroque style, this hermitage was founded in the 18th century and is one of the main tourist attractions of Rabanal del Camino, as it is part of the Camino de Santiago.

According to tradition, this hermitage contains a relic of Vera Cruz, making it a place of pilgrimage for many believers. In addition to its religious value, the Ermita del Cristo de la Vera Cruz stands out for its architecture, with a simple but elegant facade and an interior decorated with paintings and sculptures of great artistic value.

The history of the Ermita de la Vera Cruz dates back to the 18th century, when it was built at the initiative of the Franciscan monks who inhabited the nearby Monasterio de San Salvador. During the War of Independence, the hermitage suffered serious damage and had to be rebuilt in the 19th century. Over the years it has been restored and improved several times, preserving its beauty and artistic value.
