Ermita de la Limpia y Pura - Bailén
In 1808, Fray Manuel de Jaén, a Capuchin priest, saw the Spanish troops marching alongside him until they reached the site where they would defend themselves from French offensives. A Gallic General, known as Dupré, was mortally wounded during the Peninsular War when he attacked the Spanish army with his cuirassiers; he was buried in this chapel due to its proximity to the battlefield. Built at the end of the fifteenth century, it was a small, poorly maintained, rustic, whitewashed hermitage until 1947, when the Rentero Tello family donated it to the Brotherhood of San Juan Evangelista, who restored it in 1985.
Opening Times: Wednesday and Friday from 09:00-13:00hrs (except Easter).
