Campanario Iglesia conventual San Francisco - Cádiz. Andalucia, España - Bell Towers on Waymarking.com

Torre campanario de planta cuadrada, con una terminación en un cuerpo de campanas de planta octogonal y cuatro vanos de arco de medio punto que albergan las campanas, coronado con un chapitel.

"La Iglesia en su apariencia primitiva sólo se conserva la capilla de bóveda esquilfada que da a la puerta lateral y la capilla de la Virgen de la Paz. El templo es de planta rectangular con una sola nave y capillas laterales.

De su interior destaca su retablo mayor de finales del XVIII, obra de 1763 de Gonzalo Pomar de estilo rococó en madera dorada, así como el Cristo Crucificado de la Veracruz, que algunos estudiosos suponen traído a la ciudad desde Nápoles en el año 1733.

En el exterior, destaca la torre fechada en 1699, realizados por el arquitecto Juan Jiménez Mata junto con las portada lateral y el zaguán. También destaca el cimborrio, del siglo XVIII, con el que se corona la capilla mayor".

Square bell tower, ending in an octagonal bell tower and four semicircular arched openings that house the bells, crowned with a spire.

"The church's original appearance is only preserved in the chapel with a squilled vault that leads to the side door and the chapel of Our Lady of Peace. The church has a rectangular floor plan with a single nave and side chapels.

Interior highlights include the late 18th-century main altarpiece, a Rococo work of gilded wood by Gonzalo Pomar in 1763, as well as the Crucified Christ of the Veracruz, which some scholars believe was brought to the city from Naples in 1733.

On the exterior, the tower, dating from 1699 and designed by the architect Juan Jiménez Mata, stands out, along with the side doorway and the entrance hall. Also notable is the 18th-century dome that crowns the main chapel."
