San Juan Chapel in Dénia is a must-visit during your time in the destination. Take a walk and soak up all the charm.

Ermita de San Juan, San Juan Chapel in Dénia, is a small and beautiful Gothic place of worship sitting on the foothills of impressive El Montgó Natural Park. Put it on your list of things to see in Dénia.

Built in the 14th and 15th centuries, the chapel was enhanced by an elegant portico in the 16th century for the visit of King Felipe III. San Juan Chapel in Dénia is just over a 30-minute walk from the centre of the town, making it a nice choice for an easy walk with all the family. And a wonderful way to get to know the wonders of this part of the Mediterranean.

Beyond San Juan Chapel’s lovely portico, which was built in around the year 1600, you can also see 17th century-Seville tiles. Every year, there’s a traditional pilgrimage to the chapel for the festival of San Juan. Around the chapel, community dinners and all sorts of festive events and activities take place. If you’ll be in Dénia at this time of the year, it will be well worth coming along to soak up the atmosphere.

During your time in Dénia, make sure you come and visit San Juan Chapel where you can enjoy views over El Montgó and perhaps even do some birding.
