Iglesia Santa Felicitas (Isabel la Católica 520, Barracas) – At the age of 16, Felicitas Guerrero married Martín de Alzaga. They had a child together, who died at the age of six, and a second one who died at birth . One year later Felicitas became a widow at the age of 24, and many suitors sought her hand. While Felicitas initially had a brief courtship with a man by the name of Enrique Ocampo, she later came to favor another, Manuel Sáenz Valiente. This change in her affections filled Ocampo with jealousy. Ocampo’s confrontation of Felicitas turned violent, and he killed her. Some say she was shot on the 29th and others on the 30th, but all versions of the story agree that she died on January 30, 1872. Felicitas’ parents had this church built to commemorate their daughter at the place where she was killed.
Today, it is said that her ghost wanders about the church. It is believed that to touch her statue brings disgrace and misfortune, but touching the gate at the entrance and tying a white handkerchief or ribbon to it will bring you true love.
