Step inside one of Alcoy’s most symbolic and significant landmarks and add it to your sightseeing tour.

Iglesia de San Jorge, San Jorge Church, is a 20th-century building in the heart of Alcoy that stands out thanks to its unusual architectural design. The Neo-romantic style is a reinterpretation of the Romanesque and Medieval styles that came before, and the dramatic façade - flanked by two towers - is certainly a sight to behold. Set off on a cultural tour around the town and make sure the church is on your list!

Step inside the church and you’ll come across Neo-Byzantine features, including large murals that depict the legend around San Jorge - Saint George - and his connection with Alcoy and its fascinating past. San Jorge Church is not far from Plaza de España, so make sure you go for a stroll around the centre and visit both landmarks. Boasting charming squares, Art Nouveau buildings, museums brimming with artefacts and even historic air-raid shelters, Alcoy has got to be the next place on your list of getaway destinations.

What’s more, you’ll love the relaxing atmosphere that encompasses San Jorge Church and the other sights in the historic centre. And you’re bound to find a place to stop off at where you can try a delicious borreta, a typical Alicante delicacy that is pure comfort in a bowl.
