Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación

Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación

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. A strong tower was added to the church that served as a bell tower and shelter when the alarm was raised to alert of the presence of Berber ships on the coast. In the mid-nineteenth century it was in ruins, and subsequent repairs and extensions were made, including those by Bishop José María Ober. Located on Calle Iglesia.
