Iglesia Conventual de la Encarnación

Iglesia Conventual de la Encarnación, Mannerist church in Antequera, Spain

The church features a single nave layout with three chapels flanking each side, increasing in size as they approach the transept under a dome.

The convent establishment began on October 10, 1590, through financial support from Francisco de Córdoba y Velasco, the fourth Count of Alcaudete.

The interior walls display recently uncovered paintings of the four evangelists, along with representations of Saint Teresa and Saint Juan de la Cruz.

The church remains active and maintains regular opening hours for visitors interested in exploring the religious architecture of southern Spain.

A two-story observation gallery with latticed windows adjoins the Baroque bell tower, rising above the roof at the high choir space.
