Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Carmen - MÁLAGA, España - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

Nada se sabe del primitivo templo que fue destruido a raíz del terremoto de 1680. Tras éste se llevó a cabo una gran obra que queda patente en la estructura del templo, que sigue las líneas de las edificaciones del siglo XVII. Con posterioridad, el inmueble ha ido sufriendo varias transformaciones, que sin embargo han ido respetando su estructura primitiva. Así, a mediados del siglo XVIII, e realizó una nueva restauración que en la fachada quedó patente con la apertura de una ventana donde aparece la fecha de 1745. Hacia 1776 sufrió una nueva intervención como consecuencia de un incendio que sufrió y que llegó hasta la media naranja del crucero. En el año 1931 el templo fue incendiado, perdiendo gran parte de sus bienes muebles, y en 1944 se procedió a su restauración, teniendo como base un proyecto del arquitecto E. Atencia, que en líneas generales respetó la estructura del inmueble, pero le añadió sobre las naves laterales un cuerpo superior para residencia de religiosos.

Nothing is known of the primitive temple that was destroyed as a result of the earthquake of 1680. After this, a great work was carried out that is evident in the structure of the temple, which follows the lines of the 17th century buildings. Subsequently, the building has undergone several transformations, which, however, have respected its original structure. Thus, in the middle of the 18th century, a new restoration was carried out, which was evident in the façade with the opening of a window where the date of 1745 appears. Around 1776, it underwent a new intervention as a result of a fire that it suffered and that reached the better half of the cruise. In 1931 the temple was burned down, losing a large part of its movable property, and in 1944 it was restored, based on a project by the architect E. Atencia, who in general respected the structure of the building, but added on the lateral naves an upper body for the residence of religious.
