The Poor Clares of Ronda

Las Clarisas de Ronda

La Iglesia de Santa Isabel forma parte del convento de Santa Isabel de los Ángeles, un monasterio fundado por Luis Oropesa y su esposa en el siglo XVI para la Orden de Santa Clara. Al pie de la iglesia, bajo la torre de tres cuerpos, se encuentra la reja tras la cual practican el culto las monjitas Clarisas de Ronda, ya que es un convento de clausura. Se accede a la iglesia a través de un pequeño atrio, atravesando una portada de piedra formada por un arco de medio punto sobre la que se puede ver el escudo de la orden enmarcado entre columnas. Sobre ella hay una hornacina rematada con pináculos y protegida por un tejaroz mudéjar. El templo es pequeño, con una sola nave y cubierta de bóvedas de artistas. El altar mayor está presidido por un retablo barroco con una bonita imagen de la Virgen.
The Church of Santa Isabel is part of the convent of Santa Isabel de los Angeles, a monastery founded by Luis Oropesa and his wife in the sixteenth century to the Order of St. Clare. At the foot of the church, under the tower of three bodies, is the gate behind which the nuns practice the cult Clares of Ronda, since it is a cloistered convent. You enter the church through a small atrium, crossing a stone doorway formed by a semicircular arch on which you can see the shield framed by columns. On it there is a niche topped with pinnacles and protected by a Moorish tejaroz. The temple is small, with a single nave and vaulted ceiling of artists. The altar is crowned by a Baroque altarpiece with a nice image of the Virgin.
