The sanctuary of Mare de Déu de les Fonts is one of those places where the name already explains an essential part of the site. The presence of water is not a secondary detail, but the element that has given meaning to the whole setting and turned it, over the centuries, into a place of devotion, passage and gathering for the surrounding community.

The hermitage, of ancient origin and documented since the Middle Ages, preserves the simple character of rural sanctuaries. Its architecture does not seek to stand out through monumentality, but to welcome the community in a close, accessible space linked to the territory and to popular religious practices. The reforms it has undergone over time are part of this continuity and show how the building has adapted without losing its symbolic function.

What makes this sanctuary especially distinctive is the direct relationship between spirituality and nature. The springs that give the site its name have been part of its appeal and meaning, in a territory where water has always been a necessary resource, but also an element with strong social and emotional value. As part of Enselva’t, Mare de Déu de les Fonts is a stop for discovering a quiet and deeply rooted heritage, where religious architecture, landscape and popular tradition form a single story.
