Church of La Pasión, Valladolid

In 1581, the people of Valladolid dedicated this chapel, the Church of La Pasión, to the Passion of Christ. Built for the Cofradía Penitential de la Sagrada Pasión de Cristo, it was a place of penitence and prayer. The chapel, designed by Juan de Mazarredonda and Pedro del Río, was completed on March 18, 1581 (source_material). It was declared a Monumento Nacional on March 10, 1928 and today, it houses the Museum of Painting and serves as a municipal exhibition hall.

Constructed on Calle de la Pasión, the chapel's stories echo through its carved facade and sculpted interiors. Its history is intricately linked to the Cofradía, a brotherhood whose practices of penitence and artistry would shape the chapel for centuries. Known as the Infanta’s Chapel, it played an important role in the city's social and religious life, and its walls hold stories of the chapel's remodeling in 1666, the creation of the porch in 1672, and its continued use as a place of worship.
