Puiggraciós Sanctuary

Highlight • Religious Site

The Sanctuary of Puiggraciós is located at the top of the eastern foothills of the Cingles de Bertí, in the municipality of El Figueró, in the region of Vallès Oriental.

It is located at an altitude of 689 meters, just before reaching the summit of Puiggraciós, in its northeast.

The sanctuary is very visited and loved by the parish of Vallès. Since 1973, a group of Benedictine nuns from Sant Pere de les Puel·les have been constantly present in the Sanctuary, welcoming and praying.

Sanctuary of Our Lady of Puiggraciós

Highlight • Religious Site

Located 689 meters high, this Marian sanctuary of the Bishopric of Terrassa was built very close to where, according to legend, the image of the Virgin had been found. Its construction began in 1701, and 10 years later it was already open for worship. The parishioners of San Pablo de Montmany thus built a house for their image of the Virgin of Puiggraciós, a Gothic carving that had been venerated in their parish church since the 15th century. In the 17th century, the carving of the Virgin was already carried out in procession, each year, to the top of Puiggraciós, where the blessing of the term was made and a popular distribution of bread rolls was made. The temple was adorned with a magnificent Baroque altarpiece, and completed with a dressing room that already existed in 1771.

In 1936, at the beginning of the Civil War, the sanctuary was set on fire and was completely damaged. The baroque altarpiece was lost, but not the image of the Virgin, which was saved by the neighbors. In 1946 the bishopric of Barcelona placed Puiggraciós within the parish of Sant Genís de la Almendra; From this parish the complete restoration of the temple was organized -begun just after the war-, which was solemnly inaugurated on September 8, 1957. He directed the restoration works of the architect Lluís bonete y Garí, who built a cross-plan church Latin -with the orientation inverted with respect to the original-, with a dome in the transept, a dressing room to house the image of the Virgin and a belfry. The building is accompanied by the old hermit's house and a small chapel in the exact place where, according to tradition, the image was found.
