El interior de la iglesia de...

El interior de la [poi=68947]iglesia de Santiago-San Francisco[/poi] merece un capítulo aparte por la cantidad de retablos y tallas que tiene. Nada más entrar vemos un precioso conjunto escultórico de cinco figuras que representan el Descendimiento. Hay unos 8 o 10 retablos más con imágenes religiosas de varias Vírgenes, Santos, Cristos Crucificados, un Nazareno, la coronación de la Virgen... Me encantó uno especialmente, en el que aparece la Virgen con su Hijo muerto recién bajado de la Cruz. La iglesia consta de planta de cruz latina, con coro alto, en el que hay un impresionante órgano. También es digno de mencionar el púlpito de madera y el retablo del altar Mayor, con el Cristo de los Mareantes del siglo XVI. En los muros de la iglesia también hay dos sepulcros, el de Nicomedes Pastor y el de la Beata Constanza de Castro. Tiene dos magníficas capillas laterales: -La Capilla de San Ildefonso, del siglo XIV, con un retablo renacentista. -La [poi=68946]Capilla de la Orden Tercera[/poi], con el retablo barroco de la Dolorosa y otras tallas procesionales de esta cofradía.
The interior of the church of Santiago-San Francisco deserves a separate chapter for the amount of altarpieces and carvings have. Upon entering we see a beautiful sculptural set of five figures representing the Deposition. There are about 8 or 10 more altarpieces with religious images of various Virgins, Saints, Christs Crucified, a Nazarene, the Coronation of the Virgin ... Loved one specially, in which the Virgin appears with her dead son just down from the Cross . The church has a Latin cross, with high choir, in which there is an impressive body. It is also worth mentioning the wooden pulpit and the altarpiece Mayor, with the Christ of the Mareantes the sixteenth century. On the walls of the church there are also two tombs, that of Nicomedes Pastor and the Beata Constanza de Castro. It has two side chapels magnificent: -The Chapel of San Ildefonso, the fourteenth century, with a Renaissance altarpiece. -The Chapel of the Third Order, with the baroque altarpiece of the Dolorosa and other processional carvings of this brotherhood.
