Hermitage of Ntra. Sra. de Gracia

• Fuente Obejuna

The Hermitage of Nuestra Señora de Gracia is located on the outskirts of Fuente Obejuna, in the area of Fuente Santa, within the well-known Ejido de Gracia. It is one of the most unique devotional enclaves of the municipality, both for its architectural value and for the deep popular tradition it preserves.

Although the exact date of its construction is unknown, its architectural elements allow us to place its origin around the 16th century. The temple has a single nave, divided into five sections by slightly pointed arches, which give it sobriety and historical character.

One of the most striking elements of the chapel is the presence of numerous photographs of soldiers deposited by devotees on its side walls, as a sign of faith and request for protection to the Virgin. This detail makes the visit a particularly emotional experience, where heritage, popular religiosity and memory come together.
