Delve into the fascinating history of Nuestra Señora del Remedio Chapel in Titaguas, a place of worship that has survived the passing of time and the Carlist Wars. Discover its legacy.

Ermita de Nuestra Señora del Remedio, Nuestra Señora del Remedio Chapel in Titaguas in Los Serranos, tells the story of the village's past. This architectural treasure is situated on a mound to the north of the village, affording impressive vistas over Titaguas. The building sits on a platform that fuses perfectly with the surroundings and is encircled by a solid wall: the section facing the village looks like a bastion.

Dating back to the 17th century, the place of worship has survived tumultuous periods. During the Carlist Wars, and in the year 1834 in particular, the chapel was turned into a military fort, suffering serious damage during the conflict. Once the war was over, it was rebuilt in the year 1839. Its present-day appearance, however, is the result of a meticulous restoration in 1942.

Despite being used as a military fort, the chapel still counts a number of impressive features. The western façade has a small porticoed patio and there are 10 loop holes on the southern side and 6 loop holes on the northern side. Though the most recent restoration filled in most of these, you can still see four overlooking the patio.

Nuestra Señora del Remedio Chapel is a must-visit if you’re keen to soak up Titaguas' rich local history during your time in the village. Throw yourself into the past and the beauty of the chapel, which is a fundamental part of Titaguas and a lasting testament to its historic legacy.
