Sanctuary of Our Lady of Regla, Chipiona

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Regla is the physical and liturgical home of the image recorded on Pilgrim Map as Our Lady of Chipiona. Its oceanfront setting, monastic history, Franciscan custody, and annual feast belong to the building page; the image has a connected devotional page inside it.

Official sanctuary and municipal tourism sources trace layers of tradition around the site while distinguishing legend from documented rebuilding. The present sanctuary was consecrated in the early twentieth century after Franciscan restoration of the monastic complex. Devotion to the Virgin of Regla reaches far beyond Chipiona through maritime and colonial routes, but the Andalusian sanctuary remains its originating centre of pilgrimage.

The sanctuary's official history and Chipiona tourism pages identify the image as venerated in this church and document the current complex.
