Church of Our Lady of Grace

Located in the Plaza del Corazón de María, next to the Moorish walls, the church’s façade stands out. The Parish Church of Nuestra Señora de Gracia y San Eulogio is popularly known as El Rescatado, los Trinitarios or Padres de Gracia. This church belonged to the disappeared Convent of the Discalced Trinitarians, founded in the 17th century by Juan Bautista de la Concepción.

The church stands out for its original façade, built by Sebastián Vidal following an altarpiece design.

The interior houses two images of great popular devotion. The first is known as El Rescatado, a Baroque work from 1713, which attracts a large number of the faithful every Friday. The second is an enormous and original crucifix from Mexico, donated to the convent in 1618 and known as El Esparraguero, due to the popular devotion of the local residents, who brought asparagus from their vegetable gardens as offerings.

In front of the church, the square, popularly known as El Alpargate, is a peaceful landscaped area with a baroque fountain, moved to this spot in 1950 from its original location in Puerta Nueva.
