Jacobo Függer decided to rebuild, with the intention of thanking the divinity for the benefits received, the old hermitage of the Savior, a name it kept until the eighteenth century.
Route of the hermitages (EN)
Almagro · Ciudad Real · Castilla - La Mancha
Almagro is divided into neighborhoods that have their own hermitage as a reference, true jewels of popular architecture. It is a circular route that can be started in any of them; our proposal is to start it by the one closest to the Plaza Mayor. The route has an approximate distance of 4,200 meters.

2
Hermitage of San Juan
This hermitage was founded in the seventeenth century, although there may have been a previous small building that functioned as a religious enclosure. The highlight of this chapel is the chapel of the Virgen de los Remedios, with a remarkable decoration of tempera painting and plasterwork.
3
Hermitage of La Magdalena
Its construction dates back to 1734. It is an enclosure of a single nave, distributed in five sections by simple pilasters attached to the wall, the roof is linteled and the chancel is flat. They emphasize some open niches in the walls.
4
Hermitage of San Francisco
It was built in the 17th century and is attributed to Nicolás de Vergara, el Mozo. The initial traces of the Franciscan church of Almagro, which underwent alterations in the eighteenth century when three chapels were added, respond to the scheme of Latin cross plan.
5
Hermitage of San Ildefonso
It was built in the 16th century and enlarged in the 18th century. The main building is covered by an interesting pair and knuckle framework of clear Mudejar tradition.
6
Hermitage of Santa Ana
It is one of the oldest hermitages in Almagro, built in the sixteenth century. It was provisionally occupied by the first discalced Franciscans who came to Almagro. In the 18th century the only decorative motif must have been placed on the doorway: a linteled relief with pilasters adorned with rosettes.
7
Hermitage of San Pedro
On July 23, 1983, the new chapel was inaugurated on the ruins of the old one, following the guidelines of the La Mancha architect Miguel Fisac; the porch treated with white concrete set in flexible formwork, very characteristic of this architect, stands out.
