Roads change and the city grows;
the common well still needs care.
Jing does not chase the crowd; people move and must still return to maintain the source.Begin with 15th-century pilgrimage ↓
01 / VERIFIABLE HISTORYFACTS BEFORE INTERPRETATION
Pilgrimage first gathered people
and the new church gave the place a centre.
In the later fifteenth century pilgrimage grew around the first hermitage. Infanta Maria, daughter of Manuel I, promoted the new church, begun in 1575 and consecrated in 1596 as a major Mannerist work; after damage in 1755, parts including the front were rebuilt.
The church sponsored by Infanta Maria is built and consecrated.
Earthquake damage brings repair and a rebuilt front.

02 / THE TRAVELLER'S WAY IN
Cross the square towards the white front
and watch a sacred centre organise the neighbourhood.
Jing concerns everyday use and maintenance more than a grand display of water. Church and square need care across generations if they are to keep giving direction.
A common resource does not endure by itself; well, rope and rules all need people.

Why do we read this pilgrimage church
through Jing?
Pilgrimage, ritual, square and neighbourhood form a community around a source; value depends on maintenance and fair sharing.
Pilgrimage creates common direction
Repeated arrivals turn a hermitage into a regional centre.

FACT AND INTERPRETATION KEPT SEPARATE
The fifteenth-century pilgrimage, 1575–1596 building, Infanta's patronage and post-1755 rebuilding are official facts. Jing is an editorial reading about common resources and care.
