Ermita de Santa Ana - Villatorres
The sixteenth/seventeenth-century chapel has an esplanade from which you can see the entire town, as well as neighbouring towns such as Baeza, Jabalquinto, Mancha Real, Mengíbar and the city of Jaén. It is home to the image of Santo Cristo de la Salud, a small Baroque wood carving dating from the sixteenth century. In the early nineteenth century, during a severe cholera outbreak, locals would process the chapel’s Crucified icon around the town in prayer for the sick. In 1834, many sufferers recovered from the terrible disease, so from this point onward, the icon became known as Santísimo Cristo de la Salud(Holy Christ of Health).The chapel was later remodeled in 1867, and on several subsequent occasions, most recently in 2009.
Located on Calle Pablo Iglesias.
