Sacred Sites and Cemeteries
Sitges’ religious heritage spans from clifftop chapels to ornate seaside necropolises. This collection includes the 18th-century Santuari del Vinyet, known for its maritime ex-votos, and the Ermita de la Trinitat, a traditional whitewashed hermitage overlooking the Mediterranean. The historic Cementiri de Sant Sebastià showcases Catalan Modernista funerary art, while the Chapel of Sant Sebastià and the modern Cementiri de les Pruelles offer insight into the town's evolving spiritual and architectural history.
