Description

The Hermitage of the Peixets was built to commemorate the miracle that took place in the 14th century, according to legend, a priest who was visiting the sick fell when crossing the Carraixet, the Hosts fell and were left there to save his life. Some fishermen warned that some fish had them in their mouths and the priest was able to recover them. The priest knelt down and prayed, bringing the chalice closer. The Hermitage has a rectangular floor plan in neo-Gothic style and was built in 1901. Inside, a ceramic panel depicting the miracle can be seen on the High Altar. Its façade is divided vertically into three sections separated by buttresses and decorative pinnacles. The Hermitage only opens on the feast day, 10 days after Whit Monday, celebrating a pilgrimage with mass in the chapel and various festive and religious events commemorating the "Miracle dels Peixets".
