Monuments

Some of the most revered images that are used during Easter in Loja are kept in this chapel. Its baroque altarpiece from the 17^th century, attributed to Alonso Cano, is in excellent condition. This chapel is particularly important on Good Friday, when the ‘corriílla’, (the closure of the Holy Week processions) takes place. During this ritual the religious icons are held up high and taken very quickly up the hill to the entrance of the chapel.
