As you stand outside, look up at the brickwork. The church is built in a “box shape,” a typical Mudéjar style. If you peek through the door, you’d see wooden ceilings with simple but elegant patterns, like the kind you might doodle when you’re bored during a Sunday sermon.
Hidden inside the side chapels, there are faded but lively paintings from the 1700s. These colorful reminders of the past survived hundreds of years of prayers, whispers, and maybe a few scandalous confessions. Today, the church houses the Diocesan Archive, protecting many dusty secrets of Guadix’s history. Who knows-maybe there’s a lost recipe for the world’s best churros tucked away in there!
