La Torre d'en Doménec
Highlight • Settlement
- Hermitage of Our Lady of the Font from the 14th century, with a 32-centimeter image of the Virgin, found by the villagers, which stands out for carrying the child on her right arm and because traces of gold were found in his crown The virgin was destroyed in 1936 in pieces, and was rebuilt by the residents of the town.
- Church of Santa Quiteria from the 19th century, but of medieval origin. It was united with that of Vilanova d'Alcolea until it was liberated in 1826. The old temple was small, but in 1865 the construction of the church we know today began.
- Our Lady of the Source. The image is a Gothic sculpture made of limestone. The figure had been tried to be recomposed by joining the three existing pieces with cement. Recently the Restoration Services of the Excma. Provincial Council of Castelló took charge of restoring the image with the best possible finish and correcting the various anomalies and imperfections detected to get as close as possible to its original state. The result has been very satisfactory for all the residents, and especially for the members of the Board in charge of its custody, who had also prepared a commemorative plinth. The image has been placed again in its traditional place of veneration.
