The Chapel of Sick Saint Ignatius

The Amigant Family used to take care of the sick in another house they owned called the “Little Hospital”. Ignatius stayed there twice, because Angela Seguí the matriarch of the family, helped him on many occasions. She would later form part of the group that attended the Spiritual Exercises which Ignatius gave in the Chapel of Saint Lucia.

In 1703 the “Little Hospital” became a place of worship: the Chapel of Saint Ignatius the Sick. An oil-painting is conserved inside which shows the Amigant family caring for the pilgrim. This site has recently been restored.
