Mare de Déu de la Gleva, Baroque Catholic pilgrimage church in Les Masies de Voltregà, Spain.

Mare de Déu de la Gleva is a Baroque sanctuary in Les Masies de Voltregà featuring an oval floor plan with radial chapels arranged around a central dome. The square bell tower displays polygonal sections and rises prominently above the main structure.

The sanctuary was constructed between 1760 and 1766 under Josep Moretó's direction, replacing an earlier chapel damaged by lightning in 1749. This rebuilding responded to the loss and reshaped the religious landscape of the area.

The name comes from the gleva, a clod of earth under which a shepherdess found the Virgin at Puig del Terrer. The 13th-century image was moved to Sant Hipòlit parish but returned to the hill, prompting an oratory there. Devotion spread across the region, producing goigs and songs. The entrance relief depicts this discovery.

The sanctuary is accessible from the C-17 highway near kilometer markers 69-70, with parking available close by. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear, as the approach involves country roads and natural terrain.

The tomb inside the church is that of Pere Antoni Viguer, a benefactor who paid for the altar of Sant Antoni Abat; the marble slab, dated 1782, is carved with a calvary, a sword on one side and a vine on the other. The crypt beneath measures 10.5 by 5.5 metres and keeps a polychrome mosaic pavement.
