Antequera. Iglesia del Carmen

Almost hanging on an escarpment, as if watching from its height the river of the Villa, stands the magnificent exconventual temple of the Carmelitas Calzados, which today serves as the headquarters of the old parish of Santa María la Mayor. The works of this temple and the disappeared convent seem to have begun in the final years of the sixteenth century.We find a simple façade, whose most significant element is its mannerist façade. This consists of a semicircular arch, marked by two Tuscan half-columns on plinths, crowning the entire curved and split pediment, which appears centered with a shield of Carmel. To the right of this cover is a small belfry, with a single hole, the only remnant of the bell tower after the demolition, in 1883, of the so-called Torre del Gallo.
