Sant Magí de Brufaganya, Baroque church in Pontils, Spain
Sant Magí de Brufaganya is a baroque church complex with multiple adjoining structures situated on elevated ground. The main building features lateral chapels and is surrounded by conventual structures and other facilities that form a complete religious compound.
The site was first documented in 1204, but the current baroque church was constructed starting in 1732 and completed by 1735. This 18th-century construction marked a major transformation of the religious complex.
The sanctuary is known for its connection to sacred water springs that visitors have sought for generations. These sources remain deeply tied to local practices and continue to draw people who collect or drink from the water.
The complex sits on elevated terrain with multiple buildings to explore on foot. Visitors should prepare for uneven ground and wear shoes suitable for hillside walking.
The pedró near the Capella de les Fonts is a 1.5-metre column erected by the city of Igualada, inaugurated on 16 August 1927, destroyed in 1936 during the Civil War and restored and re-inaugurated in 1950 and again on 16 August 2010.
