Description:
- This small chapel, lost among the modern buildings of Plaza Nueva, is all that remains of the convent of San Francisco. It has a single nave and a half-barrel vault, arches and small crescent-shaped domes. The main altarpiece was created in the second half of the 16th century by Bernardo Simón de Pineda, and the sculptures are attributed to Pedro Roldán. There is also an altarpiece dedicated to San Onofre, with a statue of this saint by Pedro Díaz de la Cueva, in the central vaulted niche. The paintings that decorate the altarpiece are by Martínez Montañés and Francisco Pacheco, and date from the beginning of the 17th century. This chapel also has a painting of the Virgin of Guadalupe from the end of the 17th century by the Mexican Juan Correa, and a relief of the Trinity. Mass is conducted at 8p Sa, 12:30p on Su and holidays.
