Chapel of the Holy Trinity
Almonaster la Real
POI

It is a small baroque building, from the end of the 18th century, located in the Town Hall Square. The church, as can be seen in its irregular floor plan, follows the physical indications of the site on which it sits, arranging its spaces in a somewhat arbitrary manner. In a single nave there is a sacristy with a square floor plan, covered with groin vaults, and the presbytery, with a trapezoidal floor plan and closed by a longitudinal barrel vault with lunettes. A small pulpit and an elevated choir complete the chapel. The illumination is provided by two tetralobulated oculi and the entire interior is whitewashed down to the smallest detail, which gives the building an architectural purity hardly detectable in other baroque buildings. Among other characteristics, the slenderness of this small chapel stands out. The decoration of the interior is reduced to some holy water basins and several panelled doors. The entrance opening is covered by a lobed arch and is framed by the Tuscan pilasters of the doorway. It consists of an architrave and a dismembered frieze, cornice and broken pediment whose tympanum houses a tile framed by baroque cutouts. The doorway is completed by pinnacles, typical of the late 18th century, and a little higher up is one of the aforementioned oculi that give light to the choir. The belfry, with two sections of the same composition, is decorated with Tuscan pilasters, semicircular arches and above them a cornice, Doric in the first and Tuscan in the second. It is crowned by a weathervane and four ceramic finials.
