Ermita de San Benito - Porcuna

Ermita de San Benito - Porcuna

In 1437, the chapel was a priory of the Order of Calatrava, after the conquest of Porcuna in 1240, and a Benedictine Monastery. This Gothic chapel faithfully synthesizes the Cistercian spirit of the Order and integrates very different Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque and Neoclassical elements. It consists of two L-shaped naves, the main one with arches and capitals with plant motifs. Outside, it features a Baroque façade and a bell tower with an eighteenth-century roof. Declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 2003.
