Iglesia de Altagracia

Good walk

This beautiful temple preserves images of the colonial art of Caracas that is worth visiting, the Virgen de los Remedios (1772), Nuestra Señora del Rosario (1545-1578) and the Cristo de Burgos, whose name originates from a famous crucified Christ of the century XIII, venerated in the convent of San Agustín de Burgos (Spain) and transferred to the cathedral of that city in 1836. Particularly it seems to me a wonderful place.

Located in an area surrounded by Catholic churches and their wonderful spirituality: Santa Capilla, La Catedral, the chapel of the Little Sisters Servants of Jesus, La Santísima Trinidad, (where Bolívar was baptized), and Iglesia de Las Mercedes, is located near the Urdaneta and Baralt avenues. Also of institutional buildings and icons of the city. It is exactly behind the Central Bank of Venezuela. Beautiful architecture, but a little neglected.

Nice, traditional and very peaceful.
