Traditionell wird sie als erste Pfarrkirche der Stadt angesehen, die im Schatten und Schutz der Burg errichtet wurde. Ihre architektonischen Merkmale deuten auf eine Chronologie in der ersten Hälfte des 14. Jahrhunderts hin, obwohl Hernández Díaz, Sancho Corbacho und Collantes de Terán 1939 eine gotische Inschrift anführen, in der der Ritter Cristóbal de Mosquera im 15. In der oben erwähnten Pastoralvisitation von 1706 heißt es, dass “sie gut repariert und ihr Altar mäßig komponiert ist”. In der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts befand sie sich in einem ruinösen Zustand, wie aus einem Brief des Pfarrers Manuel de Santarén vom 15. Juni 1853 hervorgeht: “Ein Teil davon ist in einem Becken, sie springen von oben und machen Feuer”. Einige Jahre später bat derselbe Pfarrer den Sekretär des Erzbistums um 2.000 Reales, den Betrag, den die Bauexperten von Alanís für die Restaurierung der Kapelle veranschlagt hatten, da ein Teil der Kapelle eingestürzt war”. Aus einem Schreiben des Pfarrers Antonio Martín de Alba vom 7. März 1907 wissen wir, dass die Kapelle bereits repariert worden war.
Architektonisch handelt es sich um ein einschiffiges Gebäude mit rechteckigem Grundriss, das durch Spitzbögen in vier Abschnitte unterteilt ist – ein architektonisches Modell, das in der mittelalterlichen Architektur der Sierras von Córdoba, Sevilla und Huelva weit verbreitet war – und von einer merkwürdigen halbrunden Apsis gekrönt wird, die eher typisch für die romanische als für die andalusische Mudéjar-Architektur ist, und die mit einem Holzdach bedeckt ist. Von großem Interesse sind die Portale, die aus Spitzbögen mit Nagelköpfen bestehen und stilistisch mit denen verwandt sind, die den Zugang zur Pfarrkirche Nuestra Señora de las Nieves bilden.
Was die Kunstwerke in diesem heiligen Bezirk betrifft, so wissen wir aus dem bereits erwähnten Brief des Pfarrers Manuel de Santarén aus dem Jahr 1853, dass zu diesem Zeitpunkt die Skulpturen des Heiligen Johannes des Täufers, des Heiligen Johannes des Evangelisten, des Heiligen Antonius des Abtes, der Heiligen Anna und der Heiligen Brigitte auf materiellen Trägern standen. 1906 fanden einige junge Leute eine Skulptur des gekreuzigten Christus in einer Zwischenwand. Nach Angaben des Pfarrers Antonio Martín de Albapar nahmen mehr als 2.000 Menschen an der Prozession zum Gedenken an die Entdeckung teil. Im Jahr 1936 verschwanden alle diese Skulpturen (11), und 1939 erwähnten die bereits erwähnten Hernández Díaz, Sancho Corbacho und Collantes de Terán ein Wandgemälde mit dem Thema der Taufe Christi.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
