Built in the mid-12th century, during the reign of Alfonso VII, it was originally dedicated to Our Lady of Victories. Its name refers to a local legend: when the Muslims arrived to collect the "Tribute of the Hundred Maidens," four young women from Carrión asked to say goodbye to the Virgin, who summoned four bulls to scare off the invaders. Later, due to its location along the Camino de Santiago, it was renamed Santa María del Camino.
