Capilla de Jesús Nazareno, Marinilla

The chapel features three naves divided by wooden pillars, with lateral walls built using tapia and a front facade made of cal y canto stone.

The chapel was constructed between 1752 and 1760 under the direction of Father Doctor Sebastian Jimenez with contributions from Don Ignacio Castañeda and Javiera Londoño.

The interior displays 18th-century murals, religious art collections, and European artworks, including pieces by local artist Calixto Villegas.

The chapel reopened in 2002 following extensive restoration work funded by the Government of Antioquia and the National Institute of Roads.

The wooden retablo at the altar, painted in crimson and gold, represents authentic colonial craftsmanship and contains religious imagery from Barcelona.
