Shrine of Nuestra Señora de la Muela Coronada

Monument · Corral de Almaguer, La Mancha de Toledo, Toledo

The Santuario de Nuestra Señora de la Muela stands on the Muela hill, 4 kilometres from Corral de Almaguer, and houses the image of the Virgen de la Muela Coronada, patroness of the town together with Santa Águeda. The Virgin is carried there in pilgrimage on the first Sunday of May, and returns on the first Sunday of September. The building is arranged in two rooms: the main altar, with the altarpiece flanked by images of Fátima and San Nicolás, separated by a wooden grille from the choir where the processional platforms and the banners of the quintas (age cohorts) are kept; and the chapel of Santa Águeda, with murals whose Renaissance frescoes were discovered in 1985. Behind the altar, the camarín preserves the ground stone bearing the image of the Virgen de la Piedad, from the former ermita.
