1. Capilla del Santo Cristo del Mar
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 13 reviews
The Church of Sant Pere (St. Peter), known by everyone as the Chapel of Crist de la Mar, stands beside the Port. Traditionally, the Crist de la Mar has always been deeply worshipped by the people of Benicarló. Indeed, legend tells us that in 1650 a felucca arrived on the beaches of Benicarló from which César Cataldo disembarked, carrying with him an image of Christ on the Cross. His arrival was deemed to be prodigal and the miracles performed by the sainted image even more so.

The origins of Benicarló can be found in the Iberian settlements of Puig de la Nau and De la Tossa, whose golden age was during the 5th and 4th centuries BC. Puig de la Nau is a small mountain which rises to the north of the municipality of Benicarló, next to the bed of the Aiguaoliva Gully which serves as a natural border between Vinaròs and Benicarló. On the eastern side of the mountain, at an altitude of around 95-100 metres above sea level, lie the remains of an ancient settlement which presumably formed the origin of the population of the coastal plains where the current town of Benicarló stands. It's necessary to make a booking previously the visit, and You need to have a car to get there.
