Iglesia de San Felipe Neri - Málaga, España - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

La primera piedra fue colocada el 3 de marzo de 1720 en la Plaza de los Canteros, junto a calle Gaona, llegando a culminar la obra diez años más tarde en lo que fue una capilla de pequeñas dimensiones. A partir de este momento, las solicitudes de diferentes órdenes religiosas para ocupar la capilla eran cuantiosas, pero el conde las rechazó una a una, interesándose y finalmente concediéndola a la orden de los filipenses, ya que el conde sintió una premonición cuando estos pidieron instalarse en la capilla, debido a que pensaba encomendarla a San Felipe Neri. La petición de que esta capilla fuera ocupada por esta orden, fue llevada a cabo por el cardenal Gaspar de Molina, haciéndola presente mediante una carta el 11 de noviembre de 1738.

A principios de julio del año siguiente, el conde de Buenavista cede a los Padres Filipenses la iglesia, compuesta por una capilla superior y otra subterránea, una sacristía, numerosas ornamentaciones, esculturas, pinturas, una vivienda situada junto a la iglesia, y varias casas situadas en calles aledañas para el sostenimiento de la congregación. También cedió el uso de la capilla subterránea a la orden “Escuela de Jesús”, aunque esta fuera propiedad de los filipenses. El 11 de julio de 1739, se efectuó una procesión desde la catedral a la capilla, en la que participaron los dos cabildos, cofradías, parroquias y comunidades religiosas, un día más tarde se llevaba a cabo la primera misa oficial en la capilla.

From this moment on, the requests from different religious orders to occupy the chapel were numerous, but the count rejected them one by one, becoming interested and finally granting it to the order of the Philippians, since the count felt a premonition when they asked to settle. in the chapel, because he planned to entrust it to San Felipe Neri. The request that this chapel be occupied by this order was carried out by Cardinal Gaspar de Molina, presenting it by means of a letter on November 11, 1738. At the beginning of July of the following year, the Count of Buenavista ceded to the Philippian Fathers the church, made up of an upper and an underground chapel, a sacristy, numerous ornaments, sculptures, paintings, a house located next to the church, and several houses located in nearby streets for the support of the congregation. He also ceded the use of the underground chapel to the "Escuela de Jesús" order, even though it was owned by the Philippians.
