Our Lady Of Peace

view map

The Iglesia de Ntra. Sra. de la Paz, (Our Lady of Peace) is the Patron of Ronda.
This little church has some exquisite statuary and shrines, inside.
The church website gives this, regarding its history:
"The Church of Our Lady of Peace was originally a hermitage constructed by alderman
Francisco de Morales and his wife in the mid-16th Century and known both as la Vera Cruz and
Hospital de la Sangre, although at the same time it took the name of San Juan de Letrán
through its association with the parish created by the Catholic Monarchs,
whose nearby parish church disappeared around that time, its furnishings being taken over to the new building.
The buildings consists of a single nave covered by a Mudejar framework that, during the reforms of the 18th Century, was hidden by baroque vaults."
