Ermita de Sant Miquel

The Ermita de Sant Miquel is a modest chapel dedicated to the Archangel Saint Michael and is one of the two chapels in Aldaia listed as a Site of Local Relevance. It belongs to that cluster of small folk shrines dotted across the town that have kept neighbourhood devotion alive, generation after generation, in the tradition of l'Horta Sud.

What to see

This is a simple, unpretentious building, true to the architecture of Valencian folk chapels: a compact floor plan, plain lines and a discreet façade presided over by the dedication to Saint Michael. Rather than for any grand scale, it is worth a visit for its value as a witness to traditional religiosity and to the everyday life of the neighbourhood around it.

Tips for your visit

• Treat it as a short stop on a wider stroll through the old centre of Aldaia.
• Neighbourhood chapels often open only at limited hours or around Mass and local festivals; check first if you want to see the interior.
• Pair it with the town's other listed chapel to better understand the area's popular religious heritage.
• Respect the quiet and the place of worship during your visit.
