Iglesia del Calvario

Iglesia del Calvario is a neoclassical church building with three naves supported by pillars. The interior features neoclassical-style windows and a floor decorated with black and white geometric patterns.

The original 18th-century church was demolished in 1926. The current neoclassical building was completed in 1932 by architect Juan Domergue.

The church holds paintings depicting religious scenes and holy figures that attract devotional visitors seeking spiritual connection. These artworks create a space of worship and reverence in the city center.

The church is open to visitors year-round and displays baroque sculptures and religious art collections. Access is straightforward, and the layout allows for a comfortable walk through the different sections.

The building stands on an elevated platform with zigzag-decorated columns at its main entrance. This distinctive architectural feature with the semicircular arch above the entrance makes it stand out from the surrounding structures.
