Santa Barbara Hermitage is situated in the old quarter or Raval Agua Limpia, where the Dukes of Segorbe set up their new home (today the Town Hall) in the XIV Century. At the back of this building there were several fruit fields or gardens, among them, one of the most important was the Dama orchard, whose name is taken because there is a fountain which has a woman statue with a lot of water spouts.
Next to this field there existed a square where at the end of the XV century a hermitage devoted to Santa Barbara was built. Lately archeoligical remains have been found. There are only small pieces of the basement, so that it was demolished at the end of the XVI century or the early XVII century, to widen the area of the fields.
The archeological excavations have brought out several walls a large irrigation chanel, and small ponds which belonged to adobe factories mentioned on the texts there is also a very interesting ceramic set from the Islamic times that assures a very intensive use of this place before of the XIII century.
