The Ermita de San Roque in Alicún de Ortega is a charming chapel located on the edge of the village.

The chapel was built in the Middle Ages, specifically during the Reconquista period. It was founded by Andrés Ortega, the third lord of Alicún de Ortega, who also provided the finances for the construction of the nearby church of Nuestra Señora de la Anunciación.

The chapel is dedicated to San Roque, the patron saint of Alicún de Ortega. The festivities in honor of San Roque are celebrated every year in August.

he chapel is built in the traditional Mudejar style, which is characteristic of the region.

The building has a rectangular plan with a double hipped roof. The interior is simple but charming, with an altar where San Roque is venerated.
