What to see in Lijar

In the second half of the 18th century, some private chapels were added to the church and this undoubtedly added to the original plan of the temple. It was probably at this time that the main portico was carved, where the shield is still present, although in an evident state of deterioration.

Some of the details that adorned the chapel at that time are preserved to this day.
 

After the mass, a procession is performed with the image of the Virgin, which goes from the ermitage to the boundaries of Lijar with Chercos, and then back.

This traditional festival does not end there, as later around the hermitage there is also a celebration in his honor, in which the whole family participates, and where dances and traditional meals are held.
 

It was built precisely because it seemed surprising, to a group of inhabitants, that a city that was capable of declaring war on a European power such as France, did also not have a single defensive or military construction.

It is a real architectural jewel, very well preserved and of great tourist attraction, which once again puts Lijar in the sights of scholars, tourists and visitors.

Next to the Castle of Lijar a tower was built, which stands at 7 meters high. This allows the tower to be seen from any point of the town, and from the tower you can access the best views of the whole town.

The inhabitants of the area, as well as the public and private institutions, have been in charge of keeping the tower and the castle in the best possible condition, as well as its surroundings, where they constructed cobblestone roads for its access, giving it great beauty.
