Ermita de NS de la Aurora - Alcaudete
Ermita de Nuestra Señora de la Aurora
Work on this chapel began around 1732, and it is of the largest in Alcaudete. Until the nineteenth century it had a flourishing life, served by the Carmelitas Descalzos Friars, whose convent it adjoined. After the confiscation of the mid-nineteenth century, the chapel became dependent on the parish of Santa María, although it continued to celebrate mass until 1920. In 1921, the chapel was enabled as a hospital for those wounded in the War in Africa, in which many locals participated. The primitive construction has undergone various adaptations to suit different social purposes, including a bar, casino and theatre in 1931. The image of Aurora was passed to the Ermita de la Fuensanta but disappeared in the Spanish Civil War.
