The sanctuary of Nosa Señora do Corpiño

The sanctuary of Nosa Señora do Corpiño, better known simply as O Corpiño, is a sanctuary located in Corpiño, in the parish of Santa Baia de Losón belonging to the municipality of Lalín, Pontevedra province, Galicia, Spain.

The sanctuary stands on a small hill at the top of the Deza river valley, a halfway up the road from Silleda to Vila de Cruces.

The current architecture of the building dates from the end of the 19th century. However, the location of the current sanctuary was chosen around the 12th century, since legend has it that nearby, in a small hermitage offered to San Adriano, lived a person who had a great devotion to the figure of Mary, to whom he dedicated numerous sermons that were gratefully received by the residents of the area.
