The Chapel of Our Lady of Refuge in the former hacienda of San Juan de la Noria, Cuatillos or Pedriceña, is located in the municipality of Cuencamé, Durango. It was built in the 17th century as an agricultural and livestock estate.
This hacienda also served as a resting point and supply stop on the route from Cuencamé to Nazas, along the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro. In 1790, a masonry temple dedicated to the Virgin of Refuge was built on this hacienda. The niches of the altar contain sculptures of Saint Isidore the Laborer, the penitent saint Nicholas of Tolentino, and Saint John the Baptist, the patron saint of the hacienda.
On September 15, 1864, during his journey through the north during the French intervention, Benito Juárez delivered "El Grito" on September 14, 1864. According to records from the late 19th century, this hacienda had 200 hectares of rainfed land and 200 hectares of rangeland by 1898, where 500 sheep grazed.
