Iglesia de las Salinas

The church features a high, narrow interior space with a barrel vault and a flat terrace roof encircled by a balustrade at the top.

Built in 1907 by the Salinas de Almería company, the church served the salt workers community and underwent a complete restoration in 2012.

The interior houses two religious figures: the Immaculate Virgin Child and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, along with a choir and decorated sacristy.

The church sits on an elevated platform with steps leading to the entrance, protecting the structure from water and sand infiltration.

The building contains multiple service rooms beneath the main nave, including an unusual feature for a church: a dedicated dovecote.
