Ermita de Nuestra Señora de la Soledad
Plain 17th-century hermitage on Calvario street, above the town. The upper chapel of Cofrentes.
Above the town of Cofrentes, on Calvario street, the Soledad hermitage is a plain 17th-century chapel. It marks the high point of the town, between the houses and the castle rock.
History
The hermitage went up in the 17th century as a Calvary chapel, in the upper town. Its plain fabric matches a quarter chapel, without the finery of the parish below.
What to see
The 17th-century chapel and the views over the rooftops toward the rivers. The visit needs half an hour and pairs well with the castle climb. Below stands the church of San José (1621), the main church under the rock.
Tips for your visit
- Walk up from the church along Calvario street.
- Pair it with the castle, which stands higher still.
