Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Cuadros

Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Cuadros

Local devotion to the Virgen de Cuadros can be traced back to the Relaciones de Felipe II of 1575, and the Sanctuary was established in 1615 to honour her in the form of a tower and mill. Its interior is rectangular with a single nave covered with a false plaster barrel vault, with false transverse arches that rest on architrave pilasters. Both the nave and the presbytery, which is accessed through a lowered main arch and is covered with a half-orange vault on pendentives, are ornamented with geometric motifs and plant themes. A choir was built at the beginning of the eighteenth century and has undergone various reforms and modifications. Located south of the town, off the JV-3222.
