Although the most important interventions accomplished on the church of Santa María of Pastoriza date back to the XVIIth century, in the interior, there are elements that indicate a previous origin, around the XIIIth century, or even earlier. It is a sanctuary of great devotion. A popular pilgrimage in honor of the Virgin is celebrated in October.

From the architectural point of view, the shrine consists of a single nave with two chapels located on the sides. The facade is structured in two independent bodies that end in a belfry, all adorned with classic motives. In its interior, the main altar consists of a baroque altarpiece, with Solomonic columns decorated with vegetal motives.
