    Due to the relief of La Mola de Lord, being an unassailable point in the past, this sanctuary used to be useful for the Carlist trops as a hospital and barracks. In consequence, this point became the epicenter of a battle between liberal and Carlist troops. As a result, the sanctuary was totally destroyed by liberals.

    To commemorate this armed conflict, a Carlist cannon is shown in the summit of Mola de Lord.

    The sanctuary is opened to the public in certain houres.
