Santa Maria La Blanca

In 1391, after the massacre and forced conversion of the Jews, it was transformed into a Christian church, being rebuilt again in the mid-seventeenth century, with funding from Justino de Neve y Yébenes. In addition to this remarkable historical evolution and the interesting artistic heritage it preserves, the temple stands out as one of the most dazzling sets of Andalusian architecture of the early baroque.

Its plant, of simple approach, acquires a tensional dynamism and a chromatic richness typically baroque thanks to the plasterwork of turgid volumes and the mural paintings that decorate the interior of the church. It is the headquarters of the Brotherhood of the Rosary of Our Lady of the Snows. The temple has a rectangular plan, with an extension of the chancel and two bodies, also rectangular, attached to the wall of the Epistle.

In the interior, the church has three main sections.

The interior has three naves divided into six sections by 10 Tuscan columns of red marble. Over them turn semicircular arches that support barrel vaults with false lunettes in the central nave and groin vaults on the sides. Over the last two bays of the central nave, in front of the presbytery, there is a dome on pendentives, illuminated by two lateral oculi. The space of the presbytery is covered by a barrel vault with lunettes.
