Chapels of Burriana: the route and its monuments

If you are visiting Burriana, this hiking activity is a must, but you need to be prepared. To start with, wear comfortable shoes and bring water and food to keep you going on this easy, but long route. Protect yourself from the sun and take as many breaks as you need.

You can access a map of the Burriana chapel route here and start walking to reach your first stop, the chapel, also the church of San Blas. This is a 19th-century temple located on the site of a former mosque and hospital, which had to be rebuilt in 1882. Inside, we recommend admiring a 15th-century panel depicting the chapel’s saint.

The next place to visit in Burriana is the 19th-century Chapel of Santa Bárbara. It is located in an old town centre, now uninhabited, and is one of the most popular in the town. We continue to the Chapel of San Gregorio, from the same period as the previous two, and then we reach the Chapel of La Misericordia. This monument in Burriana is located in the Clot de la Mare de Déu Municipal Natural Park, where you are sure to enjoy the landscape!

Next up is the Chapel of Ecce Homo, which is somewhat older, dating back to the 18th century. Here, a pilgrimage has been established as a tradition, which takes place on Fridays in memory of the day when the statue it houses was found.

Finally, our route of the chapels of Burriana ends at the Sagrada Família. It is a modest temple, with neo-Gothic stylistic influences. The simple architecture of these buildings is sure to inspire you to take some great photos! To finish off your walk, we recommend a stroll through the centre or the Historic Site of Burriana. Pick your day and come and walk between the chapels!
