The church of Santa Maria

La Glorieta Square

The church of Santa Maria was erected in the 16th century next to an ancient defensive tower, which was built by the Arabs. It is located in the Glorieta square, opposite the town hall.

The vast interior is composed of one main nave and two smaller side naves. The vaulted ceiling over the main nave is made of carved wood.The Inmaculada's figure, made by Alonso Cano in the 18ht century, is found in the altar.

The church is used for regular religious services and tourist visits. It's also occasionally used for classic music concerts.
