Our Lady of the Enebrian

Marian title of Collado Villalba (Community of Madrid)

The title of Collado Villalba, whose parish - the Church of Nuestra Señora del Enebral, on the street Libertad 44 of the historical centre - was built between the 16th and 17th centuries in a granitic silery and masonry. The name evokes the enebrian (juniper forest, Juniperus) characteristic of the serrano pebble of the Sierra de Guadalrama. The current image dates from the 17th century and has been the subject of continued veneration in the municipality since then.
