The hermitage was built to house the only image saved from the fire that destroyed the parish church on April 23, 1521, during the Revolt of the Comuneros of Castile. This surviving carving was moved from the old chapel dedicated to Saint Christopher, leading to the change of dedication to Our Lady of La Antigua. At the end of the 16th century, it was completely rebuilt in the popular Toledo Baroque style, using threshing floor bricks and quartzite and lime masonry. During the Peninsular War, the French set fire to the hermitage, destroying much of the image; only the original head was preserved, which is now located at the feet of the current carving from 1955.

Tradition tells that in 1688, two pilgrims, Juan Bautista and Manuel Terrín, stayed at a local farmhouse and, in gratitude, painted an image of the crucified Christ using colors mixed with saliva. When he asked for oil to light the image, the owner miraculously found enough oil to last 24 hours, despite claiming to have none. This event was considered miraculous and prompted the construction of the hermitage at the initiative of Francisco Rodríguez Palmero, who donated the land to the Order of Saint John.
