Abstract

The way of beauty approaches God. That is something that many have written over the centuries, and many more have experienced in their lives.

In this communication I will discuss the sanctuary of Torreciudad (Huesca, Spain), inaugurated in July 1975. The beauty of the landscape, of construction or sculpture, the cleanliness of the site and the care of the liturgy, as well as the organ music, deeply impress the visitor and the pilgrim. All this contributes to many visitors becoming pilgrims and end up having a personal experience of God.
