   MARE DE DÉU DEL LORETO SANCTUARY - While we move closer to the village, the silhouette of this hermitage begins to get painted upon the houses. Its privileged position will keep us from getting lost as it indicate us the way all the time.

   It is located on the Puig-rodó mountain, close to the Gaià river, in a zone with fountains and surrounded of pines. In 1664 this sanctuary was built to take in the Mare de Déu image. This fact carried to the arrival of an Odena's chaplain, father Pere.

   Knocked down at the end of the past century, it was rebuilt in neoromanesque style, exactly as we can see it nowadays. The inhabitants of the village took part in the reconstruction of this building, under the impulse of father Teodor Magriñà.
