Real Santuario de Montesclaros, Shrine to the Virgin Mary in Valdeprado del Río, Spain.

The Real Santuario de Montesclaros stands at 950 meters above sea level, surrounded by oak, beech, and hazelnut forests in southern Cantabria.

The sanctuary area contains evidence of Christian activity from the 4th century, with Roman soldiers from nearby Juliobriga spreading early Christianity in the region.

The sanctuary celebrates two annual festivals: La Fiesta de la Rosa in May and El día de los Procuradores in September, gathering local communities.

Visitors can contact the sanctuary at +34 942 770 559 or +34 942 770 553 to arrange visits and learn about accommodation options.

The sanctuary houses two sarcophagi of Knights from the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, including Martin Fernández, buried in 1385.
