lourdes

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'where healing sought' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'virgil's last poems about ancient city' is the wordplay.
'last' says to take the final letters.
'poems' becomes 'odes' (ode is a kind of poem).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'ancient city' becomes 'ur' (ancient Sumerian city state).
The last letter of 'virgil' is 'l'.
'odes' enclosing 'ur' is 'ourdes'.
'l'+'ourdes'='LOURDES'
