Monasterio de la Santa Faz
"The Santa Faz monastery, with a baroque style, is located five kilometers away from the city center, in the district of the same name. Inside it keeps a relic brought from the Vatican in the fifteenth century that, according to popular tradition, was the canvas with which Veronica dried the bloody face of Jesus on the way to Calvary. Every year, on the second Thursday after Resurrection Sunday, thousands of people from Alicante come on pilgrimage to carry out the Pilgrimage of the Santa Faz (Holy Face), this being the second most important pilgrimage in Spain after the Rocío. Inside there is a dressing room behind the main altarpiece, where the relic of the Santa Faz is kept. "
