Description
I stumbled upon this rustic old church while wanderng down Calle la Calzada towards Lake Nicaragua during my brief stay in Granada. I didn't have time to peek inside but I loved the weathered appearance of the old baroque architecture.
From what I've read the Iglesia de Guadalupe was established in the 1600's, among the earlier churches to be founded in Granada. Like much of Granada, it has been substantially rebuilt over the years. Damage has been caused by a mixture of armed conflicts and earthquakes. It appears throughout it all, though, the church has retained much of its Spanish Colonial Baroque heritage, don't you think? There's just something about weathered baroque that catches my eye. There's a real feeling for the ages and the number of people that have passed through here over the centuries in Granada's storied past.
