Chircales Sanctuary and Waterfall
Highlight • Waterfall
The hermitage that houses this work of art dates back to 1568, which means that it was built practically at the same time that the foundation of Valdepeñas de Jaén was inaugurated (1539). And the history of the municipality is deeply linked to the history of this Christ. Various Foundations and Chaplaincies are provided with this relationship to sustain the Christian worship and devotion of this place.
Since the mid-16th century, the presence of some hermit priests who resided in Chircales and were linked to the priestly school of San Juan de Ávila, encouraged the material and spiritual construction of the Sanctuary in all areas. With this idea, the construction of the Sanctuary Church and other facilities began. Also with the aim of opening the hermitage to the faithful, it was probably decided to beautify this place, and thus commission the painting of the Christ of Chircales.
