Sanctuary or destination point

The sanctuary of Our Lady of Grace is located just below the Falconera rock, an imposing but unstable cliff. Its first hermits were two Franciscan friars, in the mid-fifteenth century. At the end of that same century, a Gothic chapel is already documented. The current church is in neoclassical style and was completed in 1819; It has two portals, nine chapels and an apse. The former cells of the hermits are now a modest inn with three lowered arches and a sundial with the legend Adeamus fiducia ad thronum Gratiae ('Let us go with confidence to the throne of Grace').
