Histories are many that tile in winch of the origin and to the construction of the chapel and its tower. But the truth is that it was constructed towards the year of 1764, by initiative of Fray Fernando de Jesus Larrea, born in Quito.

Larrea father came to Cali to found a convent for the franciscana order. He counted on the support of the priest Nicholas Hinestroza, one of the richest men of the region, who collaborated to him yielding the land, facilitating to him money, materials and tools, and donating several slaves for the construction of the work.

The enthusiasm of the founder soon was blocked by the bishop of Popayán (pertaining to another religious order), that in the long run Hinestroza father obtained that retired his support, but not that Larrea father culminated his persistence.

The style to mudéjar of the work is explained by the presence, like head of the slaves, of Pedro Umbas, a slave I free of origin Moor. Umbas had been born in Seville (Spain), one of the cities where the Arabs made some of his more extraordinary architectonic works.

Hi John,

Very interesting thid church. At first I tought it was a mosque and that was with cought my atention, once I don"t think there is many arabs in Colombia... Nice POV you got, framing is also good once it enhance the doors features, the inclusion of the tree branches on the composition works well offering a color contrast to the church red bricks.

Regards,

Flavia

Hola John !

Que curiosa construccion . Soy un enamorado del arte mudejar y no pensaba que hubiera tenido alguna influencia en America Latina . Veo que si y la nota es bastante didactica e ilustrativa . Preciosas todas las fotos de tu serie colombiana . Salud !

Hola John,

Estuve recientemente en España, y para mi sorpresa he fotografiado una iglesia, la cual pensaba que era muy original, que tiene exactamente el mismo estilo de ladrillos y de diseño de fachada. Como bien mencionas en tu nota la influencia arabe tambien llego a nuestros paises.

Un saludo cordial,
Enrique

Hola John, la foto me llamó la atención porque parece un paraje Andaluz (Sevilla, la Alhambra, etc.)
Felicidades

Hola John,
Hoy me apetecía mucho votar esta puerta que me enseñaste de estilo mudéjar. Realmente es muy bella y se ma hace raro verla por esas tierras, pero por tu nota ya veo como se concibió.
La rama de árbol le da buen contraste.
Un abrazo
Charo

HOLA:

¿De donde vienen el arte mudejar?
Aqui en España es bastante popular, lo poco que se me viene a la memoria es que se basa mucho en el ladrillo, en los arcos del tipo de tu fotografia, es Avila (España) es tipico en la zona de la Moraña (tierra de moros) construciones en ladrillo pero sin tanta decoracion como en la zona sur de España.

Un saludo.

Pablo
