Santuario da Nosa Señora dos Milagres, Catholic pilgrimage church in Baños de Molgas, Ourense Province, Spain.
The Santuario da Nosa Señora dos Milagres is a Catholic pilgrimage church in Os Milagres do Medo, in the province of Ourense, Galicia, Spain, built from local stone on raised ground. The interior holds a simple chapel with a main altar where visitors come to pray and light candles.
The sanctuary was built in the 18th century using donations gathered from people in the surrounding area and quickly became a known religious gathering point in Ourense Province. Over time it grew into a recognized stop along the routes leading to Santiago de Compostela.
Inside the sanctuary, visitors can see votive offerings left by people who came to ask for help or give thanks to the Virgin. These personal objects, hung near the altar or along the walls, tell quiet stories from many different people over many generations.
The sanctuary is reached by local roads from Baños de Molgas, with parking available close to the entrance. The access path is unpaved in parts, so sturdy footwear is a good idea, especially after rain.
The sanctuary has kept written records of reported healings since its founding, and these documents are preserved in its archive. They are one of the few local sources that trace personal stories from the region across several centuries.
