Iglesia de Santa María de la Mayor
The town’s most important monument, erected in 1779 in the pure neoclassical style by the architect Ventura Rodríguez, which links it to the churches of Santa Fe and Vélez de Benaudalla, and funded by the fifth Marquis of Algarinejo.
It stands on the site of a primitive church, also dedicated to Santa María la Mayor, which existed in Algarinejo from the sixteenth century until 1772, when it was demolished to make way for the construction of the new church.
The new church took fourteen and a half years to be erected, from 1779 to 1794. The tower that rises behind the head of the church is noteworthy.
Located in Plaza de España.
