Church of San Andrés de Fuentelahiguera

Monument · Fuentelahiguera de Albatages, La Campiña, Guadalajara

Baroque church built in the early 17th century, when Fuentelahiguera de Albatages (Guadalajara) achieved its municipal autonomy, built in brick and rough ashlar. It has a single nave with a raised presbytery and a dome on pendentives over the crossing, decorated with Baroque plasterwork on vaults and friezes. It houses the so-called Cristo de la Salud, an 18th-century crucifix carved in ivory on an elephant tusk, of Philippine tradition. During the Spanish Civil War the church was destroyed and lost its altars, although the image of the Christ was recovered.
