INFORMATION


It was built during the last third of the 16th century and its layout is attributed to Ambrosio de Vico, the master builder of Granada Cathedral, who may have also designed the High Altarpiece.
It has, however, located on both sides of the head of its floor, two quadrangular spaces of about 6.50 m. sideways and a bell tower with three bodies, located at the foot. The tower is made of brick, has a projecting eaves and slender measurements, which is why it has the air of a minaret. Its interior, with a single nave, is covered on its entire surface by a Mudejar frame made of lime or trough wood, girthed by seven cross braces and other smaller ones in its four corners. It has four altars excavated in the wall and it highlights its main altarpiece whose design alternates the Ionic and Corinthian orders. It consists of two bodies and three streets in which, in addition to the sculpture of the Virgin on the tabernacle, five paintings of large proportions are integrated.
