Hermitage of Saint Anthony

Highlight • Religious Site

The Hermitage of San Antón in Moclín is a small, historic church located on the outskirts of the town, in the province of Granada.

It is dedicated to Saint Anthony Abbot, patron saint of animals, who is highly venerated in the area.

Its origins date back to the modern era (probably the 17th or 18th century), although it has undergone later renovations. Its architecture is simple: a rectangular floor plan, a gabled roof, and a whitewashed façade with a small bell gable.

This location has given it great importance over the centuries. On the hill of La Mota stands a fortress of the same name that is a collection of civilizations, especially from the Muslim period, although the Romans previously settled here, and later Gothic and Renaissance style buildings were added.
