La Ermita del Santo Cordero
Ermita del Santo Cordero (Chapel of the Blessed Lamb)
La ermita, aunque sobria en su exterior, entre sus muros alberga un tesoro arquitectónico. La construcción original, que data del siglo XVI, es el cabecero que se amplia probablemente en el siglo XVII adosándole una nave rectangular con su pequeño acceso de medio punto.
Although the exterior of the chapel is simple, within its walls it houses an architectural treasure. The original construction, dating from the 16th century, is the chancel which was extended, probably in the 17th century, adding a rectangular nave with a small round arched entrance.
En el interior un arco de medio punto realizado en granito y bellamente decorado da acceso al cabecero, que sorprende por el magnífico artesonado mudéjar octogonal formado por limas y pares, rematado por un almizate adornado con una piña. Un bello retablo dorado del siglo XVIII custodia un nazareno y una pequeña virgen dolorosa de vestir.
Inside, a beautifully decorated granite round arch gives access to the chancel which has a magnificent octagonal Mudejar coffered ceiling formed by rafters in a hipped roof arrangement and a central panel decorated with a pine cone shaped carving. A beautiful gilded altarpiece from the 18th century houses a statue of Jesus of Nazareth and a small, dressed Virgin of Sorrows.
