The Ermita Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria del Plantaje (English: Chapel of Our Lady of Candlemas of the Broadleaf Plantain^[a]) is a former church (now ruins) in the municipality of Toa Baja, Puerto Rico.^[1]

The ruins were listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2015.^[2]

Notes

^ The patron saint of the chapel is Our Lady of Candlemas; the words "Broadleaf Plantain" refer not to the patron saint but to the name of the plantation (Hacienda del Plantaje) where the church was located. Also note that broadleaf plantain (plantaje) is a different plant species from the plantain fruit (plátano), which may be more familiar to English speakers.
