Iglesia de la Madre de Dios y Convento R.P. Franciscanos

Although the church was founded in 1558, its current appearance corresponds to the work carried out in 1620 on an old medieval hermitage. A simple mannerist doorway leads to a wide nave with a Latin cross plan, with side chapels, centred on a high, luminous hemispherical dome. The main altar is presided over by a beautiful Solomonic Baroque altarpiece. Also of note are the minor altarpieces and a remarkable collection of imagery, including several images attributed to Pedro de Mena and the image of Nuestra Señora de las Angustias, a Pietà made in 1799. The convent is organised around a beautiful square courtyard of large dimensions formed by two cloisters with arcades on Doric columns in the lower one and Ionic columns in the upper one, and centred by a monumental fountain with a mixtilinear floor plan and a Baroque double-cup pillar, dating from the beginning of the 17th century.
