Chapel of Santa Llúcia

The Hermitage of Santa Llúcia is located on Hospital Street reaching Guillem de Castro Street. It is the seat of the Brotherhood of Saint Lucia, which was created at the end of the fifteenth century. Its construction is uncertain although medieval remains are preserved in the main chapel such as the ribs of a vault.

The building that remains is Baroque in style. It has a single rectangular nave with side chapels, five on each side. The nave is covered with a low vault with lunettes in which windows open.

On the upper floor of the chapel is the meeting room, which is now a museum. The façade is very simple with a niche with the bust of the titular saint and a belfry at the top.

In 1865 the master builder Luis Peseto, together with José Mustieles, raised a bell tower over the primitive façade, and in 1925 the façade was renovated according to a project by Lorenzo Criado. In 1979 restoration and conservation works were carried out.
