Hermitage of la Virgen del Prado de Domingo Pérez

Monument · Domingo Pérez, Torrijos, Toledo

Image of Domingo Pérez, not of the place itself.

The hermitage of Our Lady of the Meadow in Domingo Pérez was built on the site of an old humilladero (a roadside shrine) at the entrance to the village; work began in 1636 and finished in 1640, and the first mass was celebrated on 7 October 1646. It is rectangular in plan, with a single nave and side entrances, covered by a par-y-nudillo timber ceiling with ten transverse ties and one in each corner. It houses an image of the Virgin from the early 16th century, older than the hermitage itself, set in an altarpiece by Juan Fernández the younger, architect of Cebolla. It also preserves images of Saint Isidore the Farmer, Saint Gemma and Saint Louis Gonzaga, and was restored in 1996.
