Mare de Déu de la Gleva

The Mare de Déu de la Gleva features an oval floor plan with radial chapels, a central dome, and a square bell tower with polygonal sections.

Constructed between 1760 and 1766 under Josep Moretó's direction, this sanctuary replaced an earlier chapel damaged by lightning in 1749.

The church entrance displays Corinthian columns and a relief depicting the legend of the Virgin Mary's discovery by a local shepherdess.

The sanctuary is accessible from kilometer markers 69-70 on the C-17 highway, with coordinates at 42.00352 latitude and 2.24117 longitude.

The bell tower incorporates three distinct moldings defining its levels, with four arched openings housing the bells at its uppermost section.
