“Why is this church so modest?” you might wonder as you stand before the Ermita de Nuestra Señora de La Concepción. Well, let me tell you, its story is one of humble beginnings and community spirit. The Ermita de Nuestra Señora de La Concepción sits on land once known as Llanos del Otro Valle, later renamed after its beloved patron saint. The story begins between 1784 and 1796. A local named Joseph de Armas championed the construction of this very church. He even became the guarantor of the project, imagine that! On November 3rd, 1796, the entire neighborhood pledged to support the church. They promised to contribute to its upkeep and ensure its longevity. It was a testament to their faith and unity. The church, dedicated to Nuestra Señora de La Concepción, was blessed on March 20th, 1798. Today, it stands as a symbol of their enduring commitment.
