Shrine of el Miracle

Monument · Riner, Solsonès, Lleida

A religious centre dedicated to the Virgin of the Miracle, located in the western part of the municipal term of Riner, in the Solsonès, where it gives its name to the population entity of El Miracle. The complex brings together a church, a chapel and a Benedictine monastery dependent on Montserrat, with cells, a house of spirituality and a Baroque interpretation centre. It preserves two notable altarpieces: a Gothic-Renaissance one from the 16th century attributed to Pere Nunyes, and the great Baroque altarpiece of the Miracle, from the 18th century, carved by Carles Morató between 1747 and 1758 and gilded and painted by Antoni Bordons between 1760 and 1774. The complex was declared a Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional (Catalonia's highest level of heritage protection) on 22 April 2008.
