La Salut, Sanctuary in Sant Feliu de Pallerols, Spain

La Salut is a stone sanctuary with a rectangular nave, a small rose window, a neoclassical entrance door and a bell tower attached on the left, which still holds an iron bell. Two side bodies flank the church, and a rock shelter containing a spring joins the building to form a passage through which the old road from Vic to Sant Feliu ran.

In the early 17th century Joan Carbonés, from a nearby farmhouse, placed an image of the Virgin of the Rosary in the balma called Roc de Claperols. He built a small chapel there in 1642. On 9 July 1809 the sanctuary was the scene of a violent clash between the forces of the Baró d'Eroles and the French general Lamarque.

The sanctuary is an important destination for pilgrims from the region who come seeking protection from natural disasters. This tradition of intercession during difficult times shapes how the community relates to this place today.

The sanctuary stands at kilometre 40 of the C-153 road, at the turn-off of the zig-zag that replaced the old Vic-to-Olot royal road in 1922. The building is reached by car on this local road; the old path from Vic to Sant Feliu passed through the lliça formed by the balma and the church. The site has no registered inhabitants, so there are no village services around it.

The site is connected to the discovery of a religious image that was hidden in a nearby cave, leading to the construction of the sanctuary. This link to a hidden cave adds an element of discovery and mystery to the place's origin story.
