Basilica of La Purísima, Yecla

The Basilica features three large naves separated by rounded arches, with a Latin cross layout and chapels positioned between the buttresses.

Construction of this religious building started in 1775 under architect José Lopez and continued until its completion in 1868 following Jerónimo Ros's design.

The central nave, transept, and apse contain mural paintings by Manuel Muñoz Barberán, while the church displays processional sculptures by José Lozano Roca.

The Basilica opens daily from 8:00 to 19:00 in winter and until 20:00 in summer, with special mass schedules on Sundays and holidays.

The elevated dome exhibits a spiral pattern decorated with blue and white glazed tiles, making it a recognizable element of Yecla's skyline.
