Shrine of la Mare de Déu del Castell

Monument · Agres, El Comtat, Alicante

Image of Agres, not of the place itself.

Tradition places in 1484 the apparition of the Marian image that gave rise to the sanctuary raised below the Montcabrer, beside the remains of the castle. Franciscan friars settled there in the sixteenth century and the pilgrimage festival still brings together the towns of the Mariola.

1484
