Iglesia de la Encarnación
Iglesia de la Encarnación, Baroque church in Vélez-Rubio, Spain
The religious building features a stone-carved main facade with two square towers reaching 37 meters high and crowned by octagonal sections.
Construction of the church began in 1754 on the site of a former Mudejar church dedicated to San Pedro that suffered damage from earthquakes.
The interior houses five altarpieces, including a central piece created by Francisco Antonio de Testa between 1770 and 1774.
Located at 839 meters elevation in central Vélez-Rubio, the church maintains regular visiting hours for tourists and worshippers.
The church contains a red pine organ built by French craftsman Guillermo D'Enoyer, representing the largest remaining instrument of its kind in Almería.
