The Spanish village of Borja, population 4,931, has experienced an unexpected tourist boom of late. But the estimated 30,000 annual visitors aren¡¯t there to seek out the town¡¯s medieval architecture, or its archeological museum, or even the region¡¯s emerging local wines. Instead, they¡¯re in Borja to see Ecce homo, a fresco in the town¡¯s Sanctuary of Mercy church that was famously botched in a 2012 restoration.
