Jaca - La Ermita de San Cristóbal

Just before I reached Jaca, I passed the "Ermita de San Cristóbal", just next to the camino. I learned the the erection of the hermitage north was comissioned in 1758 by Francisco Villanúa y Lafuente. The chapel was burned down in 1814 by the French in their retreat after the War of Independence. It was rebuilt later by a great-nephew of Francisco, but meanwhile it is vandalized and locked to secure the interior and the still existing furnishings..

Half an hour later I reached Jaca. I had visited Jaca some years ago and now decided to stay an extra-day to visit Castle of San Pedro and the Museum of the Cathedral - and to have dinner again in the restaurant "Meson Serrablo", a place I can really recommend.
