Guadalupe. Ermita del Humilladero

Humilladero Hermitage
It is located on the hill of the Altamiras, about 4 kilometers from the Puebla and is an excellent viewpoint. His real name is Holy Cross and was built in the late fifteenth century for pilgrims to pray to see the shrine of Guadalupe. Miguel de Cervantes brought here their chains of captivity in Algiers, for offering of the Virgin of Guadalupe. It is built of brick and has templating vault. Its Moorish style "brick gothic" can be seen in its tracery windows and rosettes. In its construction were used the same rules as in the temple of the Moorish cloister of the monastery of Guadalupe. It was declared a National Monument in 1931.
