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.
