"Se encuentra situado en un barranco a 5km del pueblo dirección a Ares. En el s. XV ya existía una pequeña capilla con una pequeña imagen de la Virgen.
El aspecto actual del santuario corresponde a la mitad del s. XVII. El ermitorio de la Mare de Déu de La Font está formado por un conjunto de edificaciones que se agrupan entorno a una plaza, antaño cerrada: son la Iglesia, la hospedería, las caballerizas y la Sala Pintada. La Sala Pintada conserva unas valiosísimas pinturas murales en blanco y negro, referentes a la vida de Jesús y La Virgen".

"It is located in a ravine 5km from the town towards Ares. In the 15th century there was already a small chapel with a small image of the Virgin.
The current appearance of the sanctuary corresponds to the middle of the 19th century. XVII. The Mare de Déu de La Font hermitage is made up of a group of buildings that are grouped around a square, once closed: they are the Church, the inn, the stables and the Painted Room. The Painted Room preserves some invaluable black and white mural paintings, referring to the life of Jesus and the Virgin".
