"La Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios se encuentra en la calle Santa Ana de la localidad de Cabra, provincia de Córdoba.

La iglesia tiene su origen en el siglo XVI, aunque el edificio original estaba en ruinas a finales del siglo XVII. En 1700, la Hermandad encargó al maestro José Jiménez Valenzuela su completa reconstrucción, que se llevó a cabo entre 1700 y 1719.
Durante esta etapa, se edificó la nave central, la sacristía y la bóveda mayor. La decoración interior, realizada en yesería, fue obra del maestro tallista Antonio Álvarez Vega, mientras que Luis de Priego continuó los trabajos a partir de 1722, construyendo las naves laterales.
La portada y el campanario fueron finalizados por el arquitecto Alfonso Jiménez en 1729.

El templo presenta una planta barroca, con una nave central separada de las laterales por columnas pareadas. La bóveda mayor y las pechinas están decoradas con yeserías barrocas. La portada principal y el campanario son elementos distintivos, con el sello arquitectónico de Alfonso Jiménez.

La iglesia se encuentra en buen estado de conservación, habiendo sido completamente renovada en el siglo XVIII y manteniendo su estructura barroca, destacando especialmente su rica decoración en yeso y su arquitectura monumental".

"The Church of Our Lady of Remedies is located on Santa Ana Street in the town of Cabra, province of Córdoba.

The church has its origins in the 16th century, although the original building was in ruins at the end of the 17th century. In 1700, the Brotherhood commissioned master José Jiménez Valenzuela to carry out its complete reconstruction, which was carried out between 1700 and 1719.
During this stage, the central nave, the sacristy and the main vault were built. The interior decoration, made of plasterwork, was the work of the master carver Antonio Álvarez Vega, while Luis de Priego continued the work from 1722, building the side naves.
The façade and the bell tower were completed by the architect Alfonso Jiménez in 1729.

The temple has a baroque plan, with a central nave separated from the lateral ones by paired columns. The main vault and pendentives are decorated with baroque plasterwork. The main façade and the bell tower are distinctive elements, with the architectural seal of Alfonso Jiménez.
