Ermita de Monegre

Religious

The hamlet of Alicante, called Monnegre, is located north of the municipal area and separated from it by those of Muchamiel and San Vicente del Raspeig. On the edge of the CV-819 road was located the old hermitage of Chapitel (Our Lady of the Desamparados), later, at about 600 meters, in the vicinity of the channel of the Monnegre River are a series of buildings, currently in ruins, of considerable dimensions. It is popularly known as "Casa Grande" and "Casa del Cura de Monnegre" although in various cartographies it is designated as "Casa del Capellán". On the right side of what the main building must have been, the remains of an enclosure that once was a hermitage of which we do not know its advocation remain. Given the situation of the environment, we deduce that it would be of private use. The attached building, as we said above, on the right side of the main building, is built with masonry walls, gabled roof in curved tile. Plant of unique ship with a small enclosure to its left that, presumably would be used as sacristy. On the south facing façade, access in ogival arch and on this, a large round oculus.
