Just five kilometers from the historic center of Padrón, this church is one of the most iconic on the Portuguese Way of Saint James. The story tells that it was born as a result of a miracle: a man suffering from dropsy was cured 72 hours after drinking from the fountain that is still preserved under the steps, at street level. Thanks to the donations of this and many others who came to "heal" the temple was erected.

Church, the construction of which began in the 16th century directly at the so-called "Fonte Santa" or "holy spring". Its most important elements are the central staircase above the spring and the two large towers (19th century, on either side of the nave). According to legend, in 1582 the priest of Cruces had a stone sculpture of the Virgin Mary and Child made in gratitude for not being killed by a falling tree. The sculpture was placed right next to a nearby spring. In 1732, many years later, a sick man from O Salnés, on his way to Santiago to be treated for his illness, drank from the spring and asked Our Lady for help. Three days later he was healed. The event attracted many devout people in search of healing and generated plenty of donations. The church was built with all the proceeds from the donations. Inside the church, altarpieces, one of which is painted gold, pictures and wall paintings depict the events that led to the construction of the church.

Built in the s. XVIII, but one of its towers is from the s. XIX. Tradition has it that in 1582 the parish priest of Cruces ordered the carving of a stone image of the Virgin with the Child thus showing his gratitude for being saved from being crushed to death by a falling tree. The carving was installed on a fountain that was in the place. Years later, in 1732, a patient from O Salnés who was on his way to Santiago to be treated for his ailment stopped to drink here and asked the Virgin for help. Within three days it was cured. This event attracted many devotees who wanted to be healed and who made many donations. With all the proceeds, the sanctuary was built. There are two towers and a stone access staircase.
