Iglesia Conventual de la Madre de Dios – Lucena, Córdoba, España - Roman Catholic Churches on Waymarking.com

"Aunque la iglesia se fundó en 1558, su aspecto actual corresponde a las obras realizadas en 1620 por el maestro de obras malagueño Francisco de Lucena, sobre una antigua ermita medieval.

Una sencilla portada manierista da paso a una amplia nave de planta de cruz latina, con capillas laterales, centrado en una elevada luminosa cúpula semiesférica. El altar mayor está presidido, por un bello retablo de estilo barroco salomónico, elaborado por José Matías Sánchez, sobre trazas de Leonardo Antonio de Castro. Así mismo destacan los retablos menores y una imaginería de notable interés, destacando varias imágenes atribuidas a Pedro de Mena y la imagen de Nuestra Señora de las Angustias, una Piedad realizada en 1799 por Blas Molner.

El convento anejo se organiza en torno a un bello patio, de planta cuadrada y de grandes dimensiones formado por dos claustros, alto y bajo, con arcadas sobre columnas dóricas en el inferior y jónicas en el superior, y centrado con una monumental fuente de planta mixtilínea y barroco pilar de doble taza, de comienzos del siglo XVII."
