RUTA DE LAS CAPILLAS

The name of this route refers to the different chapels that are scattered throughout the city. This type of religious constructions, of an urban nature and whose origin dates back to the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, is linked, for the most part, to the cult of the Holy Cross that began to take root in the city centuries before with the arrival of the conquerors, hence the denomination of Chapels of Crosses. Others, however, served as a particular oratory for the owners of significant properties, such as the chapels of La Trinidad and La Cruz Verde, belonging to the Peraza de Ayala and Salazar Or a Houses, respectively. On the other hand, some guilds in the city promoted their construction to house the devout cross of their brotherhoods; This is the case of the Chapel of Cruz de Los Plateros and Cruz de Los Herreros. Other examples that are preserved are the 'C Cruz de Rodr guez Moure ' and the 'Cilla de Cruz de San Francisco '.
