It belongs to the parish of Tiobre and is located on the English Way to Santiago. It is a Renaissance-style building from the 16th–17th centuries (1568–1601). The construction of the building is attributed to Juan de Herrera, and it stands on the site of a former hermitage. The ground plan is divided into three sections of different heights: apse, transept and nave. The main body corresponds to the presbytery, covered by a large double-ribbed vault with tiercerons. Two chapels open off the transept, dedicated to Saint Cajetan and Saint Anthony, both covered with ribbed vaults. The main façade features images of Christ, Saint James and Saint Roch. The origin of the temple is linked to legends based on apparitions of the Virgin. It is known that a previous hermitage existed on this same site, which included a hospital for pilgrims.
