The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Consolación

The construction of the first church, dedicated to Nuestra Señora de la Consolación, was carried out between 1656 and 1661.

In 1679 the Carmelites used it before they founded their convent. It has two atriums, one in front of the main facade and the other to the south (between the parochial annex and the church). The main facade, located to the east, has a portada and two bell towers. There are also two hermitages between the buttresses of the towers, which resemble two other entrances.
