Iglesia Nuestra Señora de la Divina Providencia – Architecture

The construction is modeled on stylistic canons, mainly classical with Renaissance influences. Completely brick-built, it has a big façade with three Graeco-Latin entrance porches, beautifully decorated with classical elements such as semicircular arch and Doric column finishes, which are accompanied by a triangular pediment sustained by big columns in the central entrance. Crowned with a large parallelepiped central tower, entrance continues the classical order in decoration with a variety of elements such as Doric and Corinthian capital columns and cornices ending up in circular pediments. This tower contains the belfry that has a small lantern overhead as a finish.

The interior layout, contrary to what one might think based on the three-entrance portico configuration, is structured by a single big-sized lintelled rectangular nave, crowned with a decorated plain ceiling. This nave ends up in its south side with a large apse, where the altar and a structure containing the overarching figure for devotion are located. Its walls are divided into three floor plans profusely decorated. The third level is developed as a clerestory, where stained glass windows decorated with geometric designs let the exterior light into the nave.
