National Shrine of Our Lady of the Dew, Marian sanctuary in El Rocío, Spain

The white sanctuary rises near the Doñana marshes with three naves, a Latin cross layout, and a prominent bell tower at its entrance.

The initial structure dates back to 1270 when King Alfonso X established a small chapel in the area known as Las Rocinas.

The sanctuary houses the Virgin of El Rocío statue, receiving pilgrims from across Spain and worldwide during the annual Pentecost celebration.

The sanctuary remains open daily from sunrise to sunset, with regular mass services held throughout the year in different seasonal schedules.

This religious complex connects directly to the Doñana marshlands through two doors, creating a natural integration with the surrounding wetlands.
