Description
The Santuari de la Font de la Salut is a pilgrimage sanctuary near Traiguera with a church and outbuildings representing different architectural periods. The complex displays Renaissance and Baroque features mixed with Gothic elements throughout its structure.
History
The sanctuary originated after the discovery of a Mary image in 1384, leading to construction of an initial hermitage. Over centuries it was enlarged and rebuilt, with today's structures reflecting various architectural phases.
Culture
The sanctuary draws pilgrims who come to honor the Virgin of Health through prayers and processions that connect people from surrounding villages. These annual devotions create moments of shared faith and togetherness.
Practical
