Torrecity Cross.

The Sanctuary of Torreciudad, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, specifically to the invocation of Our Lady of the Angels of Torreciudad. It is located in the municipality of Secastilla, in the region of Ribagorza del Alto Aragón in the province of Huesca in the autonomous community of Aragón in Spain. It is located on the left bank of the Cinca river, on the waters dammed by the El Grado dam. It is 75 km away from Huesca, the provincial capital. The name comes from an old watchtower from the Arab era, whose ruins are located a few meters from the old hermitage. The construction of the current Sanctuary was promoted at the express wish of Josemaría Escrivá, Founder of Opus Dei (Personal Prelature of the Catholic Church).
