Centuries of history in the heart of the Matarranya
La Virgen de la Fuente has welcomed weary travellers for over 500 years. It was built to accommodate pilgrims to the site where the Virgin reportedly appeared by the natural springs in the 13th century.
The upper hermitage is a remarkable example of Gothic-Mudejar style, while the later lower hermitage, showcases a stunning Baroque style. With panels depicting New Testament scenes and a splendid coffered Mudejar ceiling, it is an outstanding cultural sight.

A living heritage, thoughtfully reimagined
Today, the Santuario is managed by La Torre del Visco, a boutique Relais Chateaux hotel in the neighbouring valley. Drawing on unrivalled local knowledge, a deep sense of place, and a steadfast commitment to sustainability, it’s a destination of unique character.
The cloisters, hermitage and restaurant host a variety of cultural events, from exhibitions to musical recitals that take full advantage of the wonderful acoustics. The Santuario is also available for private hire. Weddings, parties and special celebrations become unforgettable occasions in a setting of timeless beauty.
