Mare de Déu del Vilar, Catholic sanctuary in Blanes, Spain
The Mare de Déu del Vilar sanctuary stands at 98 meters elevation in the Marina mountains, featuring a single nave with barrel vaults and lateral chapel.
The sanctuary holds a 13th-century Virgin Mary statue that remained hidden in the forest during the revolutionary events of 1936-1939 to preserve its integrity.
The building incorporates maritime decorative elements throughout its interior, including ceramics in the presbytery and numerous nautical-themed votive offerings.
The sanctuary maintains regular visiting hours and continues to serve as a religious center, with special celebrations occurring every Easter Tuesday.
Among the votive offerings displayed in the sanctuary is an oar that pays tribute to Joaquim Ruyra i Oms literary work El rem de trenta-quatre.
