Padre Jesus church and Salzillo Museum

The church of Jesus has an eliptic interior. It is one of the most popular places for visitors to the city, as it holds a permanent exhibition of the most precious works of Francisco Salzillo, ranging from the well-loved set of Christmas Crib figures to the majestic groups of carvings carried throught the streets on Good Friday morning.

 

Except for that which gives its name to the Holy Week guild, Jesus of Nazareth, the other carvings were made by Salzillo between 1752 and 1777. there is no other morning in Murcia as glorious as that of Good Friday.

 

As dawn tinges the roof-tops with gold, the blossom-scented city awakes, every citizen reverent before the endless-seeming river of purple-clad penitents bowing down under the weight of the invaluable statuary as they bear it through the streets of the baroque quarters of Murcia.

Built: XVIII-XX Centuries.
