Iglesia de Jesús, Baroque church in Murcia, Spain
The Iglesia de Jesús features an octagonal structure with radial chapels displaying detailed religious sculptures throughout the interior spaces.
Construction of the church began in 1670 on the site of the former San Sebastián hermitage, completing its architectural development by the end of that century.
The church houses Francisco Salzillo's wooden sculptures depicting the Passion of Christ, which participate in Holy Week processions through Murcia's streets.
The building functions as part of the Museo Salzillo, offering visitors access to religious art collections and architectural exhibitions throughout the year.
Pablo Sístori's 1792 paintings adorn the church walls, while the main chapel contains a modified processional figure from 1601 by Juan de Aguilera.
