El Carmen Basilica
The Basílica Menor de Nuestra Señora del Carmen Coronada is one of the most venerated churches in Jerez. Built between the 17th and 18th centuries, it stands out for its elegant Baroque façade and its main altarpiece, presided over by the Virgin of Carmen. The church is a gathering point for devotees throughout the year, but especially on 16 July, the day of her feast. Inside, a valuable artistic treasure is preserved, with pieces of goldsmith work, embroidery, and sculptures of high quality. It is a place where faith and art intertwine in an atmosphere of quiet devotion and solemnity. As a point of interest, it is worth noting that on 23 April 1925, the Virgin of Carmen was canonically crowned by King Alfonso XIII and Queen Victoria Eugenia of Battenberg.
