Capilla del Hospital de la Santa Misericordia - Trigueros, Huelva, España - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

"La Capilla de este antiguo hospital estuvo dedicada originalmente a la advocación de Ntra. Sra. de los Remedios, imagen de mediados del S. XVI que aún recibe culto en el retablo del Sagrario.
Este Hospital según consta en una Visita Pastoral de 1721, estuvo dedicado a albergar a peregrinos sacerdotes. Ya en otra Visita Canónica anterior aparece destinado a la crianza de niños expósitos. De la fábrica original nada concreto se sabe.
Del antiguo conjunto sólo perdura la Capilla, de planta rectangular y dividida en tres naves. El 1 de noviembre de 1755 sufrió las consecuencias del Terremoto de Lisboa. Sin embargo, quince días después volvió a abrirse al culto y fue utilizado como Templo Parroquial mientras concluían las obras de reparación de la la Parroquia.
Las últimas reformas realizadas en 1974 destruyeron el encanto de la antigua ermita. Se sustituyeron las antiguas techumbres de madera por techos rasos y se colocó la actual solería de terrazo. Su encalada fachada conserva una deliciosa impronta dieciochesca. El medallón central exhibe un paño de azulejería sevillana que representa a la Virgen de la Misericordia. En su interior además de otras imágenes, reciben culto los titulares de la Hermandad de Jesús y María: Jesús Nazareno; Cristo atado a la columna y Nuestra Señora de los Dolores."

"The Chapel of this old hospital was originally dedicated to the devotion of Our Lady of Remedies, an image from the mid-16th century that is still worshiped in the altarpiece of the Tabernacle. This Hospital, as recorded in a Pastoral Visit of 1721, It was dedicated to housing pilgrim priests. In another previous Canonical Visit it appears intended for the raising of foundlings. Nothing specific is known about the original factory. Of the old complex only the Chapel remains, with a rectangular plan and divided into three naves. On November 1, 1755, it suffered the consequences of the Lisbon Earthquake. However, fifteen days later it was reopened for worship and was used as a Parish Temple while the repair works of the Parish were completed. The last reforms carried out in 1974 destroyed the charm of the old hermitage. The old wooden roofs were replaced with flat ceilings and the current terrazzo flooring was installed. Its whitewashed façade retains a delightful 18th century imprint. The central medallion displays a piece of Sevillian tilework that represents the Virgin of Mercy. Inside, in addition to other images, the owners of the Brotherhood of Jesus and Mary receive worship: Jesús Nazareno; Christ tied to the column and Our Lady of Sorrows."
