Approximate modern location: Granada, in the Sanctuario del Sacromonte de Valparaiso.

Other Comments: In 1595 the remains of many Martyrs were discovered on a mountain near Grenada.  Our Order petitioned to care for these remains, but in 1609 the local Ordinary decreed that this Reliquary and Church become a Diocesan "collegiate" house.
