Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sorrows of Chandavila, Marian shrine in La Codosera, Spain.
The Sanctuary stands near the Portuguese border, featuring traditional Spanish religious architecture and a prominent image of the Virgin Mary inside its walls.
The Vatican officially recognized the shrine in 2023, following reported visions of the Virgin Mary to two young girls in May 1945 during World War II.
Pilgrims gather at the sanctuary to participate in religious ceremonies, prayers, and devotional practices dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows throughout the year.
The sanctuary remains open daily for visitors and worshippers under the administration of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mérida-Badajoz.
Two visionaries, Marcelina Barroso and Afra Brígido, later dedicated their lives to caring for the sick, elderly, and orphans in the region.
