The sanctuary of San Pascual Baylón (from Sant Pasqual in Valencian), popularly known as El Sant, is located in Villarreal, in the province of Castellón (Spain). The complex is made up of the "International Eucharistic Votive Temple", proclaimed a minor basilica by Pope John Paul II, the Royal Chapel with the tomb of Saint Pascual Baylón, the Pouet del Sant museum and the cloistered convent of the Poor Clare mothers.

The convent has its origins in the 16th century, but it is thanks to the fact that Saint Pascual Baylón lived, died and was buried there, that it achieved fame and importance as a place of pilgrimage. The Royal Chapel, built in the 17th century to house the saint's remains, was considered the first Valencian Baroque monument in order of time and merit. However, the old convent church and the baroque chapel were destroyed by arson in 1936 during the Spanish Civil War. The new temple is not finished, although it is open for worship. The new Royal Chapel, inaugurated in 1992 by King Juan Carlos I of Spain, is finished.

The restoration of the monastery has consolidated vestiges as characteristic as the cloister, the staircase, the De Profundis room, and in the refectory, the seat occupied by the saint in front of that of Blessed Andrés Hibernón. The two bell towers house a carillon with 72 bells and a set of 12 ringing bells, including the largest ringing bell in the world.
