A Renaissance sanctuary set into a rock shelter above the river Bergantes, three kilometres from Zorita, built between the 16th and 18th centuries. The cave chapel is of 1667, with a two-storey bell tower, and the hostel went up in the 16th century, fitted to the steep ground. Visitors walk through the vaulted shelter to the cave where the image of the Virgin is venerated.
