Beautiful sanctuary dedicated to Our Lady of the Angels. A place of serenity.
This is an unusual and intriguing place to visit. It is a religious complex set in the hills surrounded by lakes. Visitors are asked to be sensitive to the setting and dress accordingly. It is an imposing red brick construction which can be admired for the architecture. There is a visitors centre with toilets, souvenir shop and drinks available as well as a large car park. It is close to walking routes and the hill had kilometer markers for cyclists who enjoy the challenge of the climb.
A spectacular setting for a very peaceful and inspiring experience. Quite a few things to explore in the Church itself but also around it. There is a feast for the eyes in the frescoes for the Rosary/principle beliefs of the Catholic Church around the main plaza, a Way of the Cross outside it for prayerful reflection/devotion, the Hermitage at a short walking distance, and the immediate backdrop of the stunning reservoir and more distance snow-capped Pyrenees. These are more clearly visible on a cooler day. There is also a fine collection of statues of the Blessed Virgin Mary from around the world to illustrate the universal and ancient trust in, and devotion to, the Mother of God as Christians profess her to be.
Impressive architecture and views. Didn't go inside
