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.
According to local tradition, Saint Magí created water springs by striking the ground three times with his staff while held captive. This legend explains why the water at this place remains so revered by visitors today.
