5 Hermitage of the Conception in Córdoba, Spain

The red painted façade of the Hermitage of the Conception is located in the Plaza de Abades (Square of Abbots). According to legend, a mason named Diego de la Rocha was working in a small house when he discovered an image of the Virgin Mary behind a wall. She was holding two glowing lanterns which quickly went out. Later, during a procession of the Blessed Sacrament, the lanterns spontaneously relit while spilling out endless oil. A hermit kept the lanterns lite. This chapel was built in 1750 to hold the icon yet closed at the end of the 19th century. Since then, the Convent of Santa Clara successfully claimed the Virgin in a lawsuit.
