The hermitage of San Antonio de Padua in Robledo de Chavela (Madrid, Spain), is located on the outskirts of the town, in Cerro Robledillo, next to the El Cerro pine forest. The current hermitage is new and, curiously, has been built on top of the existing one, which it houses inside. From it you can see the curious and spectacular granite formation of the Risco de los Monaguillos, from which the views are spectacular. Near it, climbing the mountainside, you can see remains of trenches and bunkers from the Civil War. Near the hermitage is also the popular El Cañito fountain, where many hikers refuel with water. The walls of the hermitage are made of granite, and on the outside it has five buttresses.
