Santuari de Puiggraciós

The Santuari de Puiggraciós is a Baroque church situated on a mountaintop in Figaró-Montmany, displaying elaborate decorative details and architectural features typical of that style. A small residential community maintains and inhabits the site on a continuous basis.

This sanctuary was established as a mountaintop place of religious devotion and has served as a spiritual center for the surrounding region since its foundation. Over centuries it has been maintained and eventually recognized as a protected cultural heritage site in Catalonia.

The sanctuary serves as a place of worship where visitors and locals gather for religious services and spiritual reflection throughout the year. The space embodies centuries of devotion and remains central to the spiritual identity of surrounding communities.

The sanctuary sits atop a mountain and is accessible via hiking paths that depart from nearby villages and offer rewarding outdoor exploration in favorable weather. The climb requires moderate physical effort and is best undertaken during daylight hours.

The sanctuary is inhabited by a small community of nuns who live there permanently and maintain the daily spiritual practices of the site. This ongoing presence makes it one of the few still-inhabited mountaintop holy places in the region.
