Arquitectura religiosa (Religious architecture)

We begin this route in the Pablo Picasso Street, where the most modern temple of the city sits, the Iglesia de El Salvador (The Saviour Church)

Walking down Donantes de Sangre Street (Blood Donors Street), and after crossing the Paseo de las Palmeras (Palm trees’ Promenade), we will do our next stop in the first of the chapels that we will find in our route, the Ermita de la Limpia y Pura (The Clean and Pure Woman Chapel) located in the Pérez Galdós Street, a small chapel that serves as a home for the San Juan Evangelista Brotherhood. And so, to reach our next stop we must head towards the center of the city, and once we are situated in the popular Isabel la Católica Street (Commonly known as “Calle Real” [Royal Street]), we will see the street that honours Bailen’s heroine, María Bellido, which also connects with another important street, as is the 19 de Julio Street (19th of July Street, commonly known as “Calle Ancha” [Wide Street]), date that references the historic event that occurred in 1808, which grants us access to the Iglesia de San José Obrero (Saint José Obrero Church), a half a century old temple.

The journey continues through the Victoria Street (Victory Street) all the way to Vista Alegre Street (Happy Sight Street), that will guide us to our next stop of the route in the Ermita de Santo Cristo (Saint Christ Chapel), home to the Santa Vera Cruz Brotherhood.

Another chapel that awaits us will be the one located in the street known as Cuesta de Jesús (Jesus Slope), is the Ermita de Nuestro Padre Jesús (Our Father Jesus Chapel), esteemed by its stone block of red pumice stone, material said to be from the remains of the most prominent temple of Bailén, which we will see in the Iglesia Street, known by the name of Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación (Our Lady of the Incarnation Parish Church).

Lastly, we will conclude our journey through the local religious architecture with the Ermita de La Soledad (The Solitude Chapel), located in Baeza Street, near the cemetery and Virgen de los Dolores Brotherhood’s headquarters.
