Santuari del Far, Religious sanctuary in Susqueda, Spain
The rectangular church building stretches 18 meters deep and 4 meters wide, featuring pointed vaults constructed with river stones bound by mortar.
The first documented reference to Santuari del Far appears in a testament from August 25, 1269, when Pere Jaume bequeathed assets to Santa Maria del Far chapel.
The alabaster Virgin of Far statue, measuring 105 centimeters, represents one of the finest Marian icons from the late Gothic period in Catalonia.
Located at an elevation of 1,123 meters, the sanctuary connects to multiple hiking paths including the PR-222 trail and the Santa Ana ascent routes.
The adjacent bell tower incorporates a deliberately short, wide base design to minimize lightning strike risks while maintaining structural stability.
