Colegiata de San Patricio de Lorca
Colegiata de San Patricio de Lorca, Renaissance collegiate church in Plaza de España, Lorca, Spain.
The church features three naves, twelve side chapels, a choir, an elevated transept, and an ambulatory with radial chapels arranged in cathedral style.
Construction of this religious monument started in 1533 under architect Jerónimo Quijano and continued until 1780, spanning nearly 250 years of development.
The dedication to Saint Patrick connects to the Battle of Los Alporchones on March 17, 1452, when Lorca residents fought against forces from Granada.
The entrance through Carrerón Portal, built around 1571, leads visitors to explore the main architectural elements and religious spaces of the collegiate church.
The bell tower, constructed in ashlar stone, combines two distinct architectural phases: one from the 16th century and another directed by Fray Pedro after 1761.
