Chapel in the Lower Hermitage of the Santuario de la Virgen de la Fuente, or Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Fountain, built 1658-1783, Penarroya de Tastavins, Matarrana, Teruel, Aragon, Spain. This chapel is in Baroque style and has an exterior portico at the site of 15 springs. In the 13th century, an image of the Virgin Mary was discovered beside a spring in this spot, and a chapel was built, which was replaced in the 14th century by a Gothic building. The hermitage was declared a Spanish National Monument in 1941 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001 under the Mudejar Art bracket. Picture by Manuel Cohen
