Church of Nuestra Señora de la Paz, Catholic church in San Basilio district, Córdoba, Spain

The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Paz, known as San Basilio, has three naves; the central nave and its wooden ceiling are 17th-century baroque work, while the side chapels, camarín and sacristy were added in the 18th century. The main altarpiece is by Alonso Gómez de Sandoval, and the left side altar holds a Saint Francis carved by Alonso de Mena. A Saint Raphael stands on a capital at one corner.

Founded in 1590 as the conventual house of the Basilian monks, the church belonged to the now-vanished Colegio de San Basilio. Little of the 16th-century building survives: the central nave and coffered ceiling are 17th-century Baroque work, and the side chapels, camarín, sacristy and altarpiece were added in the 18th century. In 1846 it became an auxiliary parish of El Sagrario because of the distance to the Mezquita-catedral.

Two brotherhoods are based here: the Hermandad de Pasión, whose two floats (Jesús de la Pasión and the Virgen del Amor with San Juan Evangelista) process on Holy Wednesday, and the Hermandad del Tránsito, which carries the Virgen del Tránsito to the SIC every 15 August. The image is much venerated in the neighbourhood.

The building sits on Calle San Basilio in the San Basilio neighborhood and is easily reached on foot. Visitors should know that the church functions primarily as a place of worship, so modest dress and respectful behavior are expected.

The altarpiece on the high altar, made by Alonso Gómez de Sandoval, came from the old Santa Clara convent after its closure in 1868. On the left side altar stands a Saint Francis carved by Alonso de Mena. In one corner, a Saint Raphael image sits on a capital, moved from a former triumph in Plaza de San Basilio.
