THE ROUTE OF THE VIRGIN MARY : TORRECIUDAD
Virgin Torreciudad.
This sanctuary devoted to the Virgin is located in the province of Huesca. It was open to worship in 1975, next to the hermitage that kept, from the 11th century, a Romanesque sculpture of Our Lady of Torreciudad. The building of the sanctuary was possible thanks to the spiritual drive of the founder of the Opus Dei and to the generosity and help of thousands of people from all over the world. Torreciudad is an international pilgrimage centre. This prayer and penitence place is sited in a landscape of singular strength and beauty. The temple is a work by the architect Heliodoro Dols, who lives in Zaragoza, and the altarpiece was done by the artist Juan Mayne, who was inspired by the Aragonese monstrance-altarpieces.
