Iglesia arciprestal de Santa María, 18th-century Catholic church in Alcoy, Spain

The church features three naves supported by pointed arches and includes two distinctive entrance doors: the Door of the Apostles and Door of the Virgins.

Originally constructed between 1265 and 1343 on the site of a Muslim mosque, the church underwent reconstruction in 1940 following substantial damage during the Spanish Civil War.

The church maintains an archive museum containing historical documents and religious artifacts that represent the evolution of Catholic practices in the Alcoy region.

The church stands at the highest point of Alcoy, making it visible from various locations throughout the city and serving as a reference point for navigation.

The Renaissance choir section displays engineering innovation through its star-shaped vaulted ceiling, constructed without central support columns.
