Ermita de la Virgen del Mar, Santander, Seaside hermitage church in San Román de la Llanilla, Spain.
The Ermita de la Virgen del Mar stands on a small island connected to the mainland, featuring a single nave with three vaulted sections and a hexagonal apse.
Established around 1400, the hermitage underwent reconstruction in 1684 by José Calderón after suffering damage from coastal storms throughout its existence.
The hermitage serves as the sanctuary for the patron saint of Santander, drawing regular visits from residents who maintain centuries-old religious traditions.
Located at coordinates 43.478428, -3.877347, the church remains open to visitors who can reach it through a paved path from San Román de la Llanilla.
The major altarpiece, commissioned in 1712, represents the combined work of three artists: Juan de Herrera Coterillo, Juan de la Puente Agüero, and Pedro Martínez de Cardeña.
