Iglesia de San Antonio - Frigiliana, Málaga, España - Signs of History on Waymarking.com

"La Iglesia de San Antonio cuenta la historia local a través de su arquitectura y los elementos artísticos que posee en su interior. Data de la época de reconquista cristiana, que se puede observar en su arquitectura hispano-musulmana. Por ejemplo, el color de la fachada muestra las costumbres de la época de no tintar de ningún color sus paredes sino dejar el color propio de los ladrillos. También, en la fachada se pueden observar dos pilastras de estilo dórico que enmarcan el escudo del Obispo de Málaga, en aquellos años, Fray Alonso de Santo Tomás. Está construida sobre una planta de cruz latina, con espacio para el coro en lo alto de la zona posterior. En su interior se puede observar decoración de estilo mudéjar.La zona del altar mayor se encuentra cubierta por un sistema de bóvedas de estilo barroco. Es especialmente valiosa la talla de Jesús Nazareno que se venera en este templo, así como la vitrina de la mesa del altar donde se custodian las máscaras que representan a los 12 apóstoles."

"The Church of San Antonio tells the local story through its architecture and the artistic elements within. It dates back to the Christian Reconquista period, which can be seen in its Hispano-Muslim architecture. For example, the color of the façade reflects the custom of the time, which was not to paint the walls with any color, but rather to leave the bricks' own color. Also on the façade, you can see two Doric-style pilasters framing the coat of arms of the Bishop of Málaga, Fray Alonso de Santo Tomás at the time. It is built on a Latin cross plan, with space for the choir at the top of the rear. Inside, you can see Mudejar-style decoration. The main altar area is covered by a system of Baroque-style vaults. The carving of Jesus of Nazareth, venerated in this church, is especially valuable, as is the display case on the altar table where the masks representing the 12 apostles are kept."
