Route of Churches and Chapels

Church of San Juan (16th century)
A 16th century building with Mudejar architecture, notable for its star-shaped vault, Doric columns and unique tower. Ideal for history lovers.
Built on the site of the old mosque of the Argedid suburb at the beginning of the 16th century, it follows typical Mudejar patterns. It was erected as a parish church in 1505 in a suburb where ninety percent of the neighbourhood was Moorish. It has three naves, separated by semicircular arches on thick Doric columns with highly developed abacuses. The main chapel is covered with a star-shaped ribbed vault. At first, the main nave was crowned by a Mudejar framework of which some remains are preserved under the current plaster ceiling. It has a choir loft at the foot on marble columns. Next to it is the Baptismal Chapel, which preserves painted decoration from the 13th century. On the left side of the doorway is a beautiful tower, with ashlars at the base, and a characteristic elevation of brick or masonry caissons with brick walls.
