Sant Gregori Hermitage

In 1779, the farmers of Vinaròs, faithful to the vow they had made to Saint Gregory, built a hermitage in his honour after he delivered them from a locust plague. The architectural project, located one kilometre from the town, was designed by the Vinaròs-born friar and architect P. Gonell.

After the overflow of the Cervol River in 1909, the church was closed to worship. In 1917 it became a sanatorium, during the Spanish Civil War it was used as an ammunition warehouse, and afterwards it served as a municipal storehouse. Restoration work began in 1996.

The hermitage has a central floor plan, and the main body of the church forms a Greek cross. Inside, there are three fresco-painted altarpieces, the largest of which depicts Saint Anthony Abbot crowning the ensemble, as well as Saints Abdó and Senén on the sides, and Saint Gregory in the central niche.
