Iglesia de San Juan Bautista

The construction of this church dates back to the middle of the sixteenth century, although several construction phases are evident, up to the eighteenth century; these reforms were due to the adaptation of the building for worship, since in 1552 the Castillo de los Benavides was ceded to the Priest, Don Luis de Alba. The project was carried out by the architect Don Nicolás de Torres with the permission of the Bishop Don Alonso Pecci, and was not completed until thirty years later. The works were initiated by Master Juan de Ostiga and Alonso Barba, architect of the Jaén Cathedral, was appointed. His hallmark is Andalusian mannerism, which mixes the sobriety of classic decorative elements. Inside the figure of San Juan as a child in stone. The bell tower was built in the seventeenth century by José María Orozco, and remodeled in the eighteenth century. Located in Plaza de la Iglesia.
