Image of La Villa de Don Fadrique, not of the place itself.

The Cristo del Consuelo, patron saint of La Villa de Don Fadrique, is venerated in a Neoclassical chapel completed in 1777, as recorded on a plaque located behind the high altar. It is reached from the main nave of the parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, through three round arches; it was built at the expense of the devotion of the whole neighbourhood. Two large columns support the vault, on whose pendentives there are four oil paintings depicting the Fathers of the Western Church. The image of the crucified Christ presiding over the altar is a 20th-century wooden carving, the work of the sculptor Pedro Verdugo.
