Santuario de la Virgen del Brezo, Catholic sanctuary in Santibáñez de la Peña, Spain.
The Santuario de la Virgen del Brezo features three connected Neoclassical buildings: a temple, a confession chapel, and a guesthouse, built with dimension stone.
The sanctuary originated from a 1478 Marian apparition to two shepherds, leading to the discovery of a forgotten statue and the establishment of pilgrimages by 1535.
Each September 21st, the sanctuary hosts a major regional celebration where hundreds gather to honor the Virgin of Brezo, patron saint of Montaña Palentina.
Located at 1,450 meters elevation in Sierra del Brezo, visitors can access the sanctuary through the PP-2247 road, connecting from the CL-626 highway.
The sanctuary houses a 13th-century Romanesque statue of the Virgin with child, confirming the historical accounts of its discovery among mountain vegetation.
