The image of the Virgen de la Roca is one of the best-known monuments in the municipality of Baiona. It was built in granite on the rocks of Mount Sansón by the great architect Antonio Palacios from Porriñán, author of outstanding buildings and architecture in the modernist style. The work was inaugurated in 1930, it is 15 meters high and represents the Virgin holding in her right hand a boat-lookout which is accessed by an internal spiral staircase made of stone.

Erected on the granite rocks of Mount Sansón, in the municipality of Baiona, the Virgen de la Roca is a monument by Antonio Palacios, inaugurated in 1930.

The work, due to the financial difficulties to pay for it, took no less than twenty years to finish. It was in 1910 when the first stone was laid, together with a small zinc box in which two gold coins, two silver and two bronze, and a copy of the act of the event were deposited.

The interior of the monument is hollow, and has a spiral staircase that allows you to climb the boat that the Virgin holds in her right hand.
