Church of Los Remedios

Church of Los Remedios

This historic church, with its ornate dome and gilded altarpiece, houses the venerated image of the Virgin of Solitude, a work by Pedro de Mena.

In the Plaza de Aguilar y Eslava we find the Parish Church of Nuestra Señora de los Remedios. It is a small church built on the remains of a 16th-century chapel dedicated to Saint Anne. It houses one of the city’s most venerated images, the Virgen de la Soledad, a work by Pedro de Mena that was acquired in Granada in 1663. The façade, dating from 1729, leads into a square-plan interior divided into three naves. The chancel is covered by a beautiful dome decorated with abundant plasterwork in the form of intricate foliage, the work of Antonio Álvarez, as is the main altarpiece. This was gilded in 1744 by Francisco Ponce de León, ten years after its construction.
