Abrucena

Ayuntamiento

In 1980, work on the Town Hall was completed. The building contains the Court, Guadalinfo Centre, Post Office and Local Police office. Located in Plaza Andalucía.

Ermita de las Ánimas

The chapel was built in 1939 when the Civil War ended. It is a small box-floor hermitage built in plastered masonry of single height and covered with gabled Arab tile, on which a small wrought-iron cross appears.

Capilla Casa de las Monjas

This small chapel was built at the end of the 1950s and measures about 3x8m, with Neo-Gothic reminiscences, false vaults, two pointed windows in the front and a curious shell-shaped roof over the altar. It is located inside a simple house-convent.

Ermita de San José

This chapel was built in plastered masonry, with a bell tower that shares its first third of wall with the hermitage, while doubling it in height. The altar is crowned by a half-orange vault.

Iglesia Parroquial de la Anunciación

The church was built in the sixteenth century. Francisco Lorenzo, the same bricklayer who built Abla’s Iglesia de Anunciación, was commissioned to construct the foundations.

Castillo El Castillejo

El Castillejo is a settlement that was mainly occupied in the Almohad period of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Remains were found of Muslim walls belonging to a border defense system with a solid tower.

History of Abrucena

In surveys carried out in 1982 in El Castillejo, Neolithic ceramic remains were found. It is therefore presumed that a stable settlement existed on this plot between 7000 BC and 700 AC. The municipal term of Abrucena is situated in the old Bastetana region, which included the current provinces of Almería, Granada, Murcia and parts of Jaén and Albacete.

Abrucena

Abrucena offers a beautiful natural environment for its visitors. In the village centre, the streets are narrow and winding and lead to the most important building: the sixteenth-century church. It’s also worth visiting the ruins of El Castillejo, located on the banks of the river facing the village. It has about 1,200 inhabitants.
