Church of la Inmaculada Concepción de Herencia

Monument · Herencia, La Mancha, Ciudad Real

Parish church of Herencia, in La Mancha, Ciudad Real, whose construction was completed in 1713: with a Latin-cross plan and a single nave covered by a decorated barrel vault, it is distinguished by a tower almost 60 metres tall, crowned by a sculpture of the Sacred Heart. Inside it holds the canvas Las tres generaciones (The Three Generations), by Lucas Jordán, and a large painting of the Immaculate Conception by Zacarías González Velázquez presiding over the main altar. In 2013 the Holy See granted a jubilee year for the third centenary of the church's consecration, one of the most visited places of devotion among the people of Herencia.
