SAN TELMO CHAPEL
Chapel in the north of the city with a single index with a marine character
The only remaining reminder of the area's seafaring character is the chapel of San Telmo, built by the seafarers' guild in the early 16th century on what was then open country to the north of the town. The present chapel dates from the 18th century. Inside, apart from its Mudejar coffered ceiling and altarpiece, the Immaculate Conception from the Bernardine convent, attributed by the Marquis of Lozoya to Alfonso Cano, stands out. Also worth seeing are the sculpture of the Señor de la Burrita (the Lord with the little donkey), who opens the Palm Sunday processions, and the Niño del Remedio (the Child of Comfort), once much venerated by the faithful.
