In 1777 the Bishop of Jaén supported its construction, which began three years later, and work was completed in 1783.
In Neoclassical style, it consists of a single central nave, at the head of which is the altar, and above the entrance hall there is a small choir. The facade starts with a portico of three semicircular arches, above which rises a bell gable in three sections, which follows the construction scheme of the colonies. It forms an ensemble where the simplicity of the elements and its dimensions give it great harmony. Inside there are beautiful niches where the images of the patron saint, San Antonio de Padua, Nuestra Señora del Carmen and the Virgen de las Navas (of medieval tradition due to the Battle) are venerated, together with other processional images.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_raw_content _id=»10″ ][cs_content_seo][cmloc-location-map id=2889]\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_the_grid name=»Rutas» _bp_base=»4_4″][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=»12″ ][/cs_element_section][/cs_content]
