Almadén de la PLata. Ermita de la Divina Pastora

This 220-square metre contemporary building (2009-2014), which can accommodate about 60 people, is used for the Pilgrimage of the Divina Pastora.

It has a central nave and two nave-aisle covered with a wood ceiling. The building has a tile roof, an entrance porch and a tower with a hipped roof. The Shrine has a clay floor except for the altar, which is green marble. The transept has small rose windows to let in the light and a small chapel where the image of Our Lady the Divine Shepherdess is worshipped during the Pilgrimage. The building was designed to be plain, without decorative elements. The bell gable on the west front serves as a bell tower.
