Iglesia de Santiago Apóstol

Iglesia de Santiago Apóstol

Construction of this church began under the first Marquis de los Vélez, Don Pedro Fajardo y Chacón, as soon as works on the castle concluded in 1512. The works extended throughout the sixteenth century, and the temple was not consecrated until 1559. The temple has a rectangular floor plan and single nave with five sections separated by pillars with Gothic columns, with the side chapels located on both sides of the nave. Inside is the Cristo de la Yedra, one of the most significant images of this Almeria town.
