Oratorio de la Santa Cueva
The Oratorio de la Santa Cueva is a church composed of two chapels,[1] one superimposed above the other,[2] adjacent to the Holy Rosary church in Cádiz.
It was restored by the Veracruz-born priest, Don José Sáenz de Santa María,[3] who also commissioned Haydn's The Seven Last Words of Christ for performance in the lower chapel.[4]
