Monuments
The Sanctuary is linked to the battles of the Christian Reconquest fought in the name of the Virgin Mary. Churches founded during this period - usually called mother-churches or parish churches - were normally dedicated to the Virgin. The sanctuary is located in the former castle which was destroyed by the Moors.
On August 15 of each year, a pilgrimage to the sanctuary takes place. Festivities are preceded by a solemn novena, and the procession then passes through the street of Coruche. One of the traditions associated with the event is the benediction of the town and the surrounding countryside.
