Ermita de Valverde, Hermitage church in Fuencarral-El Pardo, Spain
The Ermita de Valverde stands at kilometer 12 of the Colmenar Viejo road, encompassing 30,000 square meters of religious buildings and gardens.
In 1242, shepherds from Fuencarral discovered a statue of the Virgin Mary hidden during Muslim rule, leading to the construction of this hermitage in 1429.
The annual celebration from April 25 to May 3 involves transporting the Virgin Mary statue to San Miguel parish church before returning it to the hermitage.
The sanctuary opens daily for visitors, with extended hours during religious celebrations and special events throughout the spring and summer months.
A natural spring emerged at the location where the Virgin Mary statue was found, which locals believed contained water with healing properties.
