Terrades
Village
Terrades is a village of the Alt Empordà situated between Llers and Sant Llorenç de la Muga, 11 km from Figueres, in the Fragues d'Empordà, between the plain and the Garrotxa, surrounded by mountains in the basins of the Rissec and Muga rivers. It lives from dry and irrigated farming, and is celebrated for its cherries, with a Fira-Mercat held since 1996 on the first Sunday of June; its blossoming, in mid- or late April, even draws the area's Japanese community to celebrate hanami. The settlement, with stone houses from the 16th and 17th centuries, retains the sanctuary of the Mare de Déu de la Salut, from the 17th century, and the parish church of Santa Cecília, built in 1954 over an earlier Romanesque one from the 12th century, as well as the Gorgs de la Muga, pools for summer bathing. It has 337 inhabitants (INE 2025).
Shrine of la Mare de Déu de la Salut
Monument
Marian sanctuary located on the north-eastern slope of the mountain of Santa Magdalena, next to the road linking Terrades with Agullana, in a complex formed by the church and the buildings of the former hostatgeria (pilgrims' lodging). Its origin dates back to the 17th century, when it was built over the ruins of the Mas Cadira; in a side chapel the tomb of Felip Olivet, founder and first hermit of the sanctuary, is preserved. The temple, with a neo-Romanesque façade and neo-Gothic interior, has three naves with a semicircular apse; two doors next to the apse bear the engraved dates 1686 and 1679. The main façade, topped by a large rose window, bears the Latin inscription “Salus infirmorum, ora pro nobis” and the date 1887, the year this part of the building was completed.
