Sanctuary

A sanctuary is a place where an image or relic, usually religious, is venerated that has special meaning for those who believe in it.  Colloquially we can also refer to spaces where we keep something of value, something that attracts us a lot or that we want to protect, an example could be natural reserves.

I don’t like sanctuaries too much and, of course, I prefer the natural ones, although, in my opinion, even if it is necessary to protect it, I do not think it is so positive to turn nature into sanctuaries, it would be better if we took care of it a little more and could be preserved without reducing it to contained spaces.
