Santuari de la Mare de Déu de Monserrate d'Oriola, Baroque sanctuary in Orihuela, Spain.

The sanctuary features a Latin cross layout with multiple chapels and a central nave decorated with religious paintings and detailed sculptures.

Following an earthquake in 1748 that damaged the temple, construction of the current building began in 1750 and concluded in 1775.

The main altar contains a baroque retable created by José Puchol, displaying religious figures central to local faith traditions.

Located at Plaza Monserrate 25 in the Raval Roig neighborhood, the sanctuary maintains regular hours for religious services and visitor access.

The sanctuary houses an organ from 1872, constructed by Juan Amezua, which remains a testament to nineteenth-century musical craftsmanship.
