The ruinous Hermitage of the Christ of the Blood of Medina Sidonia and its spooky legend

This place, initially called the Huerta de San José Monastery, belonged to the religious order of the Carmelites of Saint Joseph. Located in the town of Carmona, in the province of Seville (Spain), it has a plant in the shape of the letter L. The building was left unfinished and the cloister was never completed.
