Tips
This hermitage was built on a high and narrow rock, which is why it was also known by the name "the needle". Like all the others, it must have had a rectangular plan, as evidenced by the four walls that are preserved, of reduced dimensions and bricks bound with mortar. Inside there was a chapel and the cell. The espadanya located on the facade of the building is also preserved, although very degraded.
It was founded by Jerónimo Ferrer, rationer of the cathedral of Tortosa, who also made his consecration on the day of the Holy Trinity, in 1616. Abandoned by the monks in 1835 due to the confiscation of Mendizábal.
Its privileged location allows you to see the ravines of the column and the Font de l'Oliver and the remains of the Spa.translated by
