Església de la Mare de Déu de la Paciència d'Orpesa, 16th century parish church in Oropesa del Mar, Spain
The church contains a single nave with side chapels between buttresses and features 18th-century Alcora tile work throughout its interior spaces.
The original building, donated by Micer Gaspar Mascarós, served as an inn before its conversion into the Parish of Saint James in 1589.
The Virgin of Patience statue returned to Oropesa in 1964 after spending years in Valencia, leading to its canonical coronation and designation as local patron.
Religious services take place regularly on the first Saturday of each month, while major festivities occur in late September and mid-October.
The church's titular image gained its name 'Virgin of Patience' from the nuns who restored it after its destruction during a 1619 attack.
