Basilica of Angustias History and Information
The construction of the Basilica of Angustias began in 1617 under the supervision of Juan Luis Ortega.
It has a nave, transept, and chancel with eight sides. Its facade is flanked by two tall towers with
pinnacles covered with tiles, and on the front there is an alcove that houses a "Pieta" by Bernardo and Jose de Mora.
Inside the Basilica of Angustias, there are shelves on which stand statues of the Apostles,
the work of Pedro Duque Cornejo, as well as paintings by artists of the Baroque school
of Granada, such as Juan Leandro de la Fuente, Ambrosio Martinez and Miguel Jeronimo de Cieza, and other retablos.
In the centre of altarpiece is the image of Our Lady of Sorrows. Originally this was a
Soledad carving with arms close to the body and hands folded, without a blue tunic or mantle.
