Built in the 16th century on top of another Romanesque building (the origin of which is attributed to a supposed Marian apparition), it takes its name from the meeting of pilgrims who came to the city, some from Ferrrol and others along the royal road to Vilalba. Due to the influx of walkers the primitive temple became too small and it was decided to build the current one. It is a beautiful example of Renaissance art, so unusual in Galicia. The classical pediment on the façade stands out. All the indications are that it is the work of Juan de Herrera (author of El Escorial) who at the same time also worked on San Francisco de Betanzos and Sobrado dos Monxes. This sanctuary is popularly known as Os Remedios because of the supposed miracles that have occurred over time, and a traditional pilgrimage is held on 8th September, which is very popular.
Did you know that there are images of the Virgen de los Remedios, two made of stone and one of clothing? One of the stone ones (the original has disappeared), the small stone one at the foot of the altar is from the Baroque period and the one that is venerated in the dressing room of the altar with a dress and jewels is dated in 1800.
In the interior it should be noted that there are remains of paintings on the High Altar. According to the studies we would be looking at one of the few examples of Galician Baroque painting and that Betanzos would be one of the centres of production of paintings from the first half of the 18th century, above all under the patronage of Antonio Sánchez de Taibo.
