Located outside the city of Coria, in the natural area of the ancient Dehesa de Malpartida, the sanctuary is close to the edge of the cliff formed by the Alagón River. According to the Coria Charter from the 13th century, it stands in the same place where a small medieval chapel probably existed. Part of the remains of the extensions carried out in the 16th century are still preserved. These extensions were carried out to house the venerated Romanesque-Gothic Marian carving, possibly made in Leonese workshops. The image of the Virgin rests in her dressing room (added in 1880) and is framed by a beautiful Rococo altarpiece from 1774. A visit to this sanctuary will allow you to appreciate its uniqueness, beauty and devotion to the Patroness of Coria! 🙏🌟

Founded before the Romans occupied the Iberian Peninsula, Coria was known as Cauria or Caurus. The Romans gave it its current Latin name, CAVRIUM. Later, he was granted Roman citizenship. In the Visigothic era, the Diocese of Coria was created, which maintained Coria as an episcopal see until the 20th century. After the Reconquista, Coria became the capital of a manor to which towns that still bear the name of Coria belonged, such as Guijo de Coria or Casillas de Coria.
