Sanctuary of the Apparitions, Marian shrine in Old Town of Pontevedra, Spain.
The stone sanctuary features an altar dedicated to the Virgin Mary and contains rooms where Sister Lúcia experienced religious visions in 1925.
The Sisters of Saint Dorothea of Frassinetti established their presence in this building during 1918 when the Marquis of Riestra offered them the premises.
