Sant Magí de la Brufaganya is a sanctuary located at 760 m above sea level, above the beginning of the Torrent de Sant Magí, in the municipality of Pontils (Conca de Barberà). It is part of the nucleus of Sant Magí de Brufaganya. It is accessed by a detour on the Pontils a la Llacuna road. A gathering is held on the third Sunday of September. Under the sanctuary is the Chapel of the Fonts de Sant Magí, with water considered miraculous and object of pilgrimage; according to legend, the saint made it spring up by hitting the ground three times with his staff when the Roman soldiers were taking him down from the Brufaganya mountain, in Santa Perpètua de Gaià. For centuries, towns such as Barcelona, Tarragona, Lleida, Cervera or Igualada have gone to fetch water from the sources of Sant Magí de la Brufaganya, to then bring it solemnly into their municipality and distribute it among the neighbors. Near the Capella de les Fonts there is a stone dedicated to Sant Magí by the city of Igualada. It is a one and a half meter column with an inscription that attests to the devotion of the Igualadin. It was inaugurated on August 16, 1927 and was destroyed in 1936 during the Civil War. The people of Igualada returned in 1950 to restore it and for the second inauguration by priest Amadeu Amenós. On August 16, 2010, it was reopened by representatives of the Igualada City Council and the Friends of the Horses of Anoia, after a new restoration.
