Iglesia de San Francisco, Renaissance and Baroque church in Lorca, Spain
The church features a bell tower with four levels, an octagonal brick spire, and a triumphal arch entrance with niches between columns.
Construction of the San Francisco Church started in 1561, with major expansions occurring in 1638 when the main nave was elevated and the bell tower added.
The church holds significant baroque altarpieces from the Region of Murcia, including the Main Altarpiece created by Ginés López in 1694.
The church stands at the intersection of Nogalte Street and San Francisco slope, serving as both a religious site and architectural monument.
The church maintains the original clock mechanism in its tower and functions as headquarters for the Brotherhood of Laborers during Holy Week.
