The Sanctuary of Torreciudad - Huesca, Spain

THE SANCTUARY:  It is dedicated to Virgin Mary. The construction of the sanctuary was an idea                                         of Saint Josemaria Escriva' de Balaguer, founder of the Opus Dei. It was                                               opened for worshipping in 1975. The set (square, temple and the adjoining                                           buildings) stands out due to the variety of avant-garde forms that give the                                            sanctuary a very personal style.                                   At the same time, it was conceived as very plain and modest construction. It                                         presents a creative construction based on the use of traditional Aragonese                                             elements such as stone, alabaster and mainly bricks. The square, built to                                               welcome thousands of pilgrims and visitors is a place to celebrate mass,
