Description:
- This church is all that remains of the former Merced Calzada Convent, which is now the Museo de Bellas Artes (Fine Arts Museum). The church is the seat of the Brotherhood of the Sagrada Expiración de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo y María Santísima de las Aguas, which takes part in the Easter Monday procession carrying the two statues of Christ and the Virgin Mary. The church was built following plans by Juan de Oviedo, between 1603 and 1612. It is in the shape of a Latin cross, with half-barrel vaults and a dome. There are murals painted by Domingo Martínez, dating from the middle of the 18th century, and the church's façade is attributed to José Alvarez. At the head of the church you can see paintings by Murillo.
