Torreciudad

The pilgrimage of Torreciudad is located spectacularly in the Spanish Pyrenees.

The International pilgrimage and shrine of the Virgin Mary is located half an hour by car from Ainsa, in the wine region "Somontano". On the route to it you pass the largest dam in Spain. The dam of El Grado is almost 1 km long.

"People will come to pray," said José María Escrivá de Balaguer, founder of Opus Dei and the new place, "to honor the Virgin and to seek ways of god, not to buy gadgets"

Please note, appropriate attire is required when visiting.
