Iglesia de la Purísima Concepción, Melilla, Catholic church in Old Melilla, Spain
The Real y Pontificia Iglesia de la Purísima Concepción features three naves supported by Tuscan columns and contains multiple side chapels with ornate altarpieces.
Construction of the church began in 1556, replacing the earlier Ermita de la Victoria, and underwent major renovations after the 1755 Lisbon earthquake.
The church houses the statue of Our Lady of Victory, the Crowned Patroness of Melilla, and serves as the primary religious center for the local community.
Located at Calle Miguel Acosta 7, the church is currently undergoing restoration work following structural damage caused by the 2016 earthquake.
Until 1797, the church building contained the only cemetery in Melilla, with crypts belonging to different brotherhoods storing remains of historical figures.
