Espíritu Santo Church

The building of these church started in 1485, the same year of the conquest of the city. The catholic monarchs ordered the construction of the church, which finished twenty years later.

The outside of the church has a solid aspect, due to its origin as fortification tower, part of the city wall. Without any kind of doubt, the church has the aspect of a fortification.

The high altar has got one barroc retable, very similar to the rococo style, containing one painting over wood influenced by the Byzantine style, representing The Virgin Mary called "de la Antigua" (the old) and also the arrival of the Holy Spirit.

It is also remarkable one of the side chapels, with the sculpture of Jesus dead and at his sepulcher, represented by one wonderful funerary case. This sculpture is taken through the streets of Ronda at a procession celebrated the Good Friday's evening.
