Torreciudad is the name of a Marian shrine in Aragon, Spain, built by Josemaría Escrivá, the founder of Opus Dei, and consecrated on July 7, 1975, under the title of Our Lady of Torreciudad. Devotion to Mary under the title of Virgin of Torreciudad is said to date back to the eleventh century.
Together with the sanctuaries of El Pilar, Montserrat, Meritxell and Lourdes they make up the Marian Route, an itinerary guided by the Christian faith in general and Marian devotion in particular, of tourist interest due to its heritage wealth, and its gastronomic, rural and natural attractions.
The shrine was designed by architect Heliodoro Dols who supervised the construction with the assistance of the architects Santiago Sols and Ramon Mondejar. The main church contains several outstanding features in the alabaster altarpiece by Juan Mayné, and the Blessed Sacrament chapel with its bronze figure of the crucified Christ, by Pasquale Sciancalepore.
Address: Santuario de Torreciudad, 22391 Secastilla, Huesca, Spain.
