Hermitage of the Solitude


The Hermitage of the Solitude is a hermitage located in the village of Fuente el Saz de Jarama, Community of Madrid, Spain. It is a very small building of an almost squared ground plan, with hipped roof and walls constructed with masonry bonding.
The front facade is simple, presenting an elliptical arch door, situated between two small lattice gaps. One of the side walls of the hermitage shows a similar arch, as if it had been another previous entrance now blocked. Its appearance can recall a moorish marabout, and the most valuable feature of the hermitage is the inner wooden coffer ceiling in the shape of a trough, of great quality knot carpentry.
In 1995, it was declared Heritage of cultural interest, within the category of monument, and it is listed with code RI-51-0009113.
