19th century
This calvary shrine hermitage is located at the north entrance to Segura next to the disappeared gate and the arrabal.
There are a fountain and old hospice on either side. The fountain was used as a water source by the hermitage.
The calvary shrine with a large iron door that is next to the road today protects a large wooden cross inside.
The cross is the most representative element of the primitive temple that disappeared in a fire that scorched Segura, and it was rebuilt in 1802. Some people believe that the stone cross in the centre of the local cemetery may be a vestige of the first hermitage.
In its origins, its purpose was to provide help to pilgrims. Ablutions were done in the fountain next to it. People washed their face, hands and feet to express repentance and, after praying in front of the hermitage of the calvary shrine, they would throw gifts and offerings into the bottom.
While deceased people were being taken to the cemetery, the parishioners would stop to ask for forgiveness and resurrection. It was also a place to visit and make supplications for people making long journeys. They tried to make it calm, and when they came back they were thankful and offered gifts.
