Sant Joan de Penyagolosa’s Sanctuary

Partida Penyagolosa, 41, 12135, Castelló

This medieval origin construction with later neoclassic and baroque extensions, concentrates great part of the magic and mysticism of the Penyagolosa. This sanctuary is the most important focus of religious attraction in the province, receiving every year the ancestral pilgrimages from most of the surrounding villages, such as Culla, Vistabella, Xodos and Puertomingalvo. Some of them date back to the Middle Ages. The most famous of these pilgrimages, “Els Pelegrins de Les Users” (declared an Asset of Intangible Cultural Interest) is celebrated on the last Friday in April. Villagers taking part in the pilgrimages demand peace, water and health from the Romanesque image of the saint.
