ALTARPIECE OF PIETY

 


Next to the access door to the sacristy there is an altarpiece with the same characteristics as the altarpiece opposite. It is from the 18th century in a classicist baroque style. Its structure consists of a single body with classical columns - alternating Corinthian and Ionic capitals.

In the central niche is the sculpture of La Piedad. Maria has her dead son on her lap. In the attic of the altarpiece there are sculptures of angels, probably from that era. This altarpiece may come from the disappeared convent of La Merced.

Prior to this altarpiece, a burial is documented “next to the wall that overlooks the sacristy where a laude is placed and the image of Our Lady of the Conception is placed on top of the said grave, with a sign that says the foundation and memories that he left ”.
