Iglesia de San Agustín del antiguo Convento de San Agustín
Iglesia de San Agustín del antiguo Convento de San Agustín, Medieval church in Plaza de San Agustín, Córdoba, Spain.
The Iglesia de San Agustín is a medieval church in Plaza de San Agustín in Córdoba featuring three naves, a transept, and a main entrance adorned with Corinthian columns and a split pediment. The interior displays the classic structure of a large parish church with multiple altar areas and vaulted ceilings.
Construction of this church began in 1328, with the main chapel completed in 1335, followed by substantial renovations during the 17th century. These building phases reflect the site's evolution from a medieval foundation to an important center of religious devotion.
The church holds an image of Nuestra Señora de las Angustias, a 17th-century sculpture by Juan de Mesa, which processes through the city on Holy Thursday. This work reflects the deep connection the community maintains with religious traditions expressed through such annual celebrations.
The building underwent extensive renovation between 2007 and 2009, stabilizing the structure and installing modern systems. Visitors should expect that the church may have limited access during scheduled religious services, as with most active places of worship.
Recent restoration work uncovered original medieval murals and frescoes beneath layers of paint, revealing the artistic evolution of the building. These discoveries offer visitors insight into the different artistic styles that shaped the church across the centuries.
