Description
This Basilica, declared a Minor Basilica in 2010 by Pope Benedict XVI, has its origins in the 13th century and its temple is made up of three doors: the oldest, in Gothic style, is the one found at the back of the church; the side façade, in Renaissance style and the main façade (last to be built) in neoclassical style.This story does not escape the investigation of Juan Eslava Galán, who implements it in his work Los Templarios y la Mesa de Salomón and whose chapter is ingeniously titled: The Virgin who walked through Jaén. (…) The seven astonished witnesses of the miracle contemplated a ghostly procession descending down Maestra del Arrabal de San Ildefonso street, in the neighborhood outside the walls of the medieval city. (…) The Templars and Solomon's Table. Chapter 9. What links this temple to the figure of the poet Miguel Hernández is that the damage caused by shrapnel can still be seen on the façade and it is an excellent place to contextualize why Miguel Hernández came to Jaén.
