The Hermitage of Our Lady of Villar is one of the most emblematic sites in Laguna de Duero, both for its religious significance and its natural and scenic surroundings. The hermitage is the center of the patron saint festivities in honor of the Virgin of Villar, which include pilgrimages, masses, and popular activities.

The Monastery of Santa María de la Armedilla was a monastery of the Order of San Jerónimo, today in ruins, located about 3.8 kilometers from Cogeces del Monte. The monastery was founded after the chance discovery by shepherds of an image of the Virgin Mary in a cave excavated in the rock. This gave rise to a Marian cult in the place and the construction of the monastery. The proximity of quarries and plasterworks in the area facilitated its construction, as well as the water supply. 🏰🌿
