Iglesia Virgen de las Angustias
Iglesia Virgen de las Angustias, Catholic church in Centro district, Granada, Spain
The Iglesia Virgen de las Angustias is a Catholic church in central Granada featuring Baroque architecture with ornate decorative details. The building showcases characteristic stonework and prominent bell towers typical of its period.
The church was completed in 1671 and replaced a 16th-century hermitage on the site. The brotherhood connected to this place originated in 1545 under the patronage of Archbishop Pedro de Castro.
The church houses the statue of Granada's patron saint, showing the Virgin Mary with Christ after the crucifixion, which remains central to local devotion. People visit to pray before this image and light candles in its presence.
The church is generally open to visitors on most days, with services scheduled at regular intervals throughout the week. Visitors should be respectful during active prayer times when the congregation is present.
The church has remained connected to a brotherhood with its own administrative traditions and ritual practices. This relationship continues to shape how the community gathers and how certain observances are conducted.
