The chapel houses the Cristo Consuelo, patron saint of this municipality. The altar is decorated with a fresco painting made in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. It was formerly a vault in which the Holy Christ was located.
The church predates the sixteenth century, however, during the uprising of the Moors the temples of Tahal and Alcudia de Monteagud were burned. These churches were restored or rebuilt based on a project commissioned by the Bishop of Guadix.
The Mudejar church construction is from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Although it is called a “castle”, it is rather a tower from the Christian era that has been the subject of a restoration project by the Junta de Andalucía.
The Tourist Office is located in the Town Hall of Tahal, opening from Monday to Friday.
The Festivals in Tahal are Cabalgata de Reyes Magos, Día de Andalucía, Semana Santa, Fiestas del Verano and Fiestas del Santo Cristo del Consuelo.
Tahal is of special interest to lovers of prehistoric archaeology. At sites such as Peña de los Chaparrales or Yacimiento del Cerro del Mojón, remains from the Neolithic and Argaric era have been discovered. The village itself has about 360 inhabitants.
