42 Ermita de El Calvario

The El Calvario Chapel is connected to the Baroque religious imagery of the seventeenth century; its origins date back to the Calvario, a crenellated enclosure with three crosses that members of the Third Order erected on the outskirts of the town before 1639. This structure became a chapel decades later, the same that would be rebuilt during the 1810s and demolished in 1914. The current building was designed by the architect Mariano Estanga to reflect its historical influences, and now stands a few metres from its original location.

Consecrated in 1917, its interior houses works of interest such as the Pietà painting that presided over the original building, attributed to the painter Gaspar de Quevedo (c. 1670). Its neoclassical altarpiece displays images of the patron saints of the town and the remarkable group of the Pietà or Christ of Calvary, all the work of local sculptor Fernando Estévez (1814).
