Tips

Francesc Garcia - MONTFRANC

April 14, 2022

It is a small oratory 5 meters high, 8 meters deep and 4 meters wide, dug into the rock and closed by a gate. It houses a Baroque alabaster image of the Virgin Mary, about 50 cm. height, a copy of the original, which is preserved in the town's parish church.
Next to it and rising above the road are the remains of the building where the objects needed for the worship of the chapel were kept.

Its origin can be traced back to the beginning of the 17th century, when, according to traditional references, an image of the Virgin Mary was found in a small depression in the ground, that is, in a "pot", which has given its name to the oratory

This hole is a few steps away, on a support of the cliff, which has been retouched in order to be able to put a fence. When the image from this corner was moved to the chapel, one of the Virgin Mary of Núria was placed in its place. pot-shaped cavities found around
