St- Feliu-Agulles 1 h. a peu i 300 m. de desnivell. // Use, if you feel it like, the going to Sant Feliu de Riu (GC1Q1ZZ) to visit the church of La Mare de Déu de les Agulles. St. Feliu-Agulles takes 1 h. walking and 300 m. uphill.

Santuari marià situat al vessant meridional del Puig de Bassegoda, en un petit replà on es domina la vall de Riu.

És un temple del segle XII, d’una nau, allargat posteriorment per la banda de ponent, que és on hi ha actualment el campanar d’espadanya d’un ull, el qual s’alça descentrat. Hi ha també una porta , i sobre aquesta una espitllera. La porta d’entrada primitiva, és a migjorn. La teulada de la primitiva construcció fou sobrealçada per tal de situar-la al mateix nivell de l’obra que modificà la nau.

Era costum que les dones del país canviessin les agulles que portaven en el seu vestits per les que hi havia en la vestimenta de la Verge. El fet, segons era de creença, proporcionava sort.

 

***Preneu nota del codi apuntat a la contraportada del logbook, us servirà per descobrir una Mistery-ermita***

 

 

Marian sanctuary placed in the meridionalslope of the Puig de Bassegoda, in a small landing where the valley of Riu is dominated.
It is a temple of the 12th century, of one plant, handed later by the side of west, where there is at present the descentered belfry of an eye. There is also a door, and over this, one loophole. The door of primitive entry is placed in midday. The roof of the primitive construction was overraised in order to place it at the same level of the work that modified the plant.
It was a habit that the women of the country changed the needles that brought in theirs dresses for those that there were in the Virgin clothing. The fact, as it was belief, provided luck.

***Write down the code in the counter-title page of the logbook, it will be useful to discover a Mistery-church***
