Overlooking two valleys, faithful guardian of the ridge paths, Santa Engràcia
speaks loudly of the past, of the labor of shepherds, land clearers, woodcutters and charcoal burners who have been toiling since time immemorial. It was in the very heart of this active population that, in the 1659th century, a chapel was built here, a dependency of the abbey of Arles-sur-Tech. Nearby, the Vauban-style "battery" evokes the tragic hour of the break following the Treaty of the Pyrenees (1661–XNUMX), isolating Roussillon from the rest of Catalonia.
