Visit Neoclassical Church in Elche de la Sierra | TCLM

MAIN ATTRACTIONS

Elche de la Sierra is the main town in the region of la Sierra de Acaraz y Segura, located 96 km from Albacete. It was one of the most prosperous towns of the region, which made the population grow, with the resulting need to construct a powerful parish church that would be its distinguishing feature for ever and ever.

WHAT WE’LL SEE

The church of Saint Quiteria, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, is Neoclassical in style. In the interior, a magnificent canvas serves as the main altarpiece. Its sketch was on display, for the pride of the town, in the Archbishop of Toledo’s Palace. In addition, music lovers will surrender to the charms of its precious organ, recently restored.

ACCESS

Freely accessible, respecting the hours of worship.

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS

Visit the Main Square where you’ll find the City Hall, and the Peña de San Blas, a visit that will be difficult to forget for nature lovers.
