This small hermitage, built in the 16th and 17th centuries, is located in an environment of lush vegetation and beauty. Inside, the miracle of the Virgin of Chilla, the patron saint of Candeleda, is narrated on panels.
The festivities in honor of the Virgin of Chilla, declared of National Tourist Interest, are celebrated on the second and third weekend of September. The sanctuary is located 6 km from Candeleda and offers magnificent panoramic views of the Rosarito Reservoir and the sky. Legend has it that the Virgin appeared to a shepherd named Finardo, who had lost a goat due to eating weeds. The Virgin resurrected the goat, and since then, it has always been represented that way.
