Hermitage of Gandesa

Monument · Gandesa, Terra Alta, Tarragona

The hermitage in the municipal district of Gandesa is the Santuari de la Fontcalda, about 13 km from the village beside the river Canaletes; the building was raised around the 16th century and the church was remade in neoclassical style in the 18th. It was burned and its interior destroyed during the Civil War in 1936; restored afterwards, it remains a place of pilgrimage on the first Sunday of May.
