Ermita de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios - Villafranca de Córdoba, Córdoba, España - Signs of History on Waymarking.com

"Es una construcción iniciada en 1701 con los donativos del vecindario que no pudo concluirse hasta 1731.
Situada a un kilómetro de la villa, alberga la imagen de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios.
Se trata de un templo de cruz latina, muy típico del barroco de la época.
Merece especial atención la fachada de los pies, toda ella de magnífica sillería culminando en frontón abierto para alojar las espadañas. Su portada tiene pilastras cajeadas y fragmentos de frontón curvo, avenerado con volutas laterales.
Esta estructura se enriquece con vigorosos motivos vegetales característicos de principios de siglo XVIII.
También debemos destacar el vía crucis mariano, en azulejos, realizado en la alfarería de Santa Ana de Triana (Sevilla). Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, protectora de Villafranca es una imagen labrada por el artista bujalanceño Juan Martínez Cerrillo a principios de los años 40, que vino a sustituir a la primitiva, perdida en la Guerra Civil Española."

It is a Latin cross temple, very typical of the baroque of the time.
The façade at the foot deserves special attention, all of it made of magnificent ashlar masonry culminating in an open pediment to house the belfries. Its façade has recessed pilasters and fragments of a curved pediment, decorated with lateral volutes.
This structure is enriched with vigorous plant motifs characteristic of the early 18th century.
We must also highlight the Marian Way of the Cross, in tiles, made in the Santa Ana de Triana pottery (Seville).
