Tips

Located on the “chemin de Saint-Gilles”, Pradelles had a “Road Hospital”. This hospital is located below the city, because, if charity ordered passing pilgrims to be accommodated, prudence with regard to brigands and epidemics advised to do so "outside the walls".

The statue of Notre-Dame, of which Robert-Louis Stevenson wrote, in 1878, "that it worked many miracles although it was made of wood", was discovered in 1512 near this hospital in a wooden chest buried at a unknown period. She was placed in the chapel adjoining the hospital.

The current Notre-Dame chapel was built by the Dominicans, the first stone was laid on May 8, 1613. The bell tower was raised in 1655.

The chapel was restored and redecorated from 1867 to 1876, the bell tower was remodeled in 1879, to accommodate the Bourdon (large bell with a deep sound). The stone dome topped with the statue of the Virgin was completed in 1889.

The Notre-Dame chapel, built by the Dominican friars in 1613, has a statue of the miraculous Madonna, who is the destination of a pilgrimage every August 15th.
