Santuari de la Mare de Déu del Lluch d'Alzira, Sanctuary on the Muntanyeta del Salvador in Alzira, Spain

The Santuari de la Mare de Déu del Lluch d'Alzira stands on the Muntanyeta del Salvador. It is a neo-Romanesque building with a basilical plan: a central nave flanked by two false side aisles with buttresses. Its exterior is plain, while the interior is decorated in neo-Baroque style.

The sanctuary began as a hermitage dedicated to the Saviour, restored by archdeacon Pedro Esplugues, whose 1337 will lists its confessional, sacristy and choir. On 5 August 1699 the image of the Virgin of Lluch, patroness of Alzira, was carried there in procession. A new neo-Romanesque church was begun in 1927 and the image moved in 1935; the original was destroyed in the Civil War and replaced in 1939.

The Virgin of Lluch is Alzira's patroness; her image was carried in procession from the town to the hilltop hermitage on 5 August 1699, after which devotion here shifted from the Saviour to her, though both names still appeared in the 1783 municipal minute book. Pilgrimages grew through the 19th century, drawing 15,000 people in 1891, and some early 20th-century ones were diocesan.

The sanctuary stands on the Muntanyeta del Salvador, reached on foot from Alzira; the sources record no adapted ramps or accessible paths, so visitors should plan for a hill walk. The old hermit's dwelling beside the sanctuary fell out of use in 1984 and was demolished the following year, so no lodging remains on the hill.

The 1699 arrival of the Virgin of Lluch image turned a hermitage of the Saviour into her sanctuary; both names still appeared together in the 1783 municipal minute book. The original image was destroyed in the Spanish Civil War, when the temple served as a powder magazine, and a new image was installed in 1939.
