Baroque Dream · Baños de la Encina

The Hermitage of Jesus del Llano, built in the seventeenth century in the old landing place of Santo Cristo mesteño, shows a sober appearance on the outside, with a single nave and belfry belfry. Its interior, however, houses one of the greatest treasures of the Andalusian Baroque of the 18th century: its spectacular camarín tower. The sotocoro represents the duality between good and evil; the nave contains geometric and vegetal elements, and frescoes of the life of the Virgin. The dome of the presbytery represents the instruments of the Passion. The dressing room is an explosion of baroque: angels, saints, apostles, mirrors, stipes and the image of the Christ of the Plain crown this heavenly space, with a vault of gallons supported by trumpets. The decorative exuberance almost completely masks its structure. The contrast between the interior and the austere exterior generates a unique experience for the visitor. It was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 2009.
