About this place
The hermitage of Our Lady of the Head is one of the most significant devotional spaces in Torrenueva and the sanctuary dedicated to the patron saint of the town.
Its importance is understood not only because of its architectural value, but also because of the continuity of a deeply rooted devotion, which has made it one of the most emblematic places in the town.
It is a monumental hermitage of the 17th century, Built on a gentle esplanade and surrounded by a landscape of vineyards and olive groves that enhances the appeal of the visit.
The building consists of a single nave and preserves paintings in the vault of the crossing, as well as a wooden gate and a neoclassical altarpiece, elements that enrich the interior and give it a careful and solemn image.
Today it remains the most representative hermitage of Torrenueva, both for its monumental presence and for the constant link of the population with the image it houses.
Its good state of preservation and the environment in which it is located make this place a highly recommended stop to understand popular religiosity and the historical heritage of the town.
