Built in the Baroque style, some consider it the cathedral of the Baix Segre region because it is of unusual dimensions for a town of just over two thousand inhabitants.
Located on the outskirts of the village, this is the cave where the blessed man retreated to live as a hermit and find inner peace. Around it, an altar, a park, a house with ten cells for spiritual retreats, an oratory, and a multipurpose room have been developed.
Original objects that belonged to or were made by the Blessed, as well as family heirlooms, are preserved. A stone coat of arms representing the congregation is displayed on the facade.
At the top of the hill that houses the hermitage of San Juan de Carratalà, you can find a spectacular viewpoint that allows you to glimpse fantastic panoramic views of the Segre valley and is especially attractive during the flowering of the peach trees and in autumn, when the leaves turn golden.
The Romanesque hermitage of Sant Joan de Carratalà, with its semicircular apse, is a Hospitaller construction. It is believed to have been built on the site of a former mosque.
