What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors find the Ermita del Santo Cristo del Calvario to be a beautiful and well-maintained 18th-century chapel. While often closed, a viewing window allows a glimpse of the interior and the patron saint's image, making it a worthwhile, albeit brief, stop for those exploring Frigiliana.
"Beautiful building, well kept, freshly painted and looking lovely."
Jenevieve Hornsby
"It's a very pretty chapel. It's usually closed, but there's a window in the door that allows you to see the interior of the chapel and the image of the patron saint. You practically have to leave the town to see it. Many people who visit Frigiliana walk down Calle Real, turn around at the church, and think they've seen the town. Although the chapel is small, it's worth a visit."
