Santuario de la Virgen de la Cueva, Cave sanctuary in Infiesto, Spain

The Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Cave occupies a natural formation beneath layered rock, with strata ascending from right to left in central Asturias.

The first documented records of the sanctuary date back to the 16th century, with three chapels established by the late 18th century.

The sanctuary hosts the annual Hazelnut Festival and holds special masses, including the Rociera Mass celebrations every April in the Pilgrims' Field.

The sanctuary contains multiple chapels dedicated to different saints and maintains spaces to accommodate visitors during religious celebrations and festivals.

Queen Isabel II visited this religious site in August 1858, accompanied by Saint Antonio María Claret during her tour of Asturias.
