Church of the Assumption

The Church of the Assumption in Moratalla is a Catholic church with a Latin cross layout, vaulted ceilings supported by Tuscan columns, and a bell tower built between 1930 and 1932. The building combines different architectural styles across its long construction history.

The original structure before 1468 was a small wooden building with a single nave, later expanded with three plaster arches. Over the centuries, the structure grew and acquired the features seen today.

The Major Chapel displays a Renaissance architectural element created by Francesco Florentino in the 16th century, reflecting the craftsmanship of that period.

The building is open to visitors during religious services, allowing you to see the interior and architectural details. It helps to time your visit with scheduled services to ensure access to the interior.

The presbytery wall contains a decorative panel that reproduces the design of a former main altarpiece with detailed craftsmanship. This element preserves the artistic memory of an earlier religious focal point in the space.
