Visit one of Alcoy’s most significant religious sites during your sightseeing escapades around town.

Monasterio del Santo Sepulcro, Santo Sepulcro Monastery, is a 16th-century church in Alcoy that was built as a convent for the Agustinas Descalzas nuns. The religious temple is thought to be linked to a few legendary miracles!

Santo Sepulcro Monastery is defined by its 20th-century Baroque style façade and Neoclassical main entrance. Step inside and you’ll come across a statue of Baby Jesus, which, legend has it, points out the place where stolen religious relics were hidden.

Visit this impressive monastery in Alcoy as you wander around the town’s picturesque historic centre. Go on a cultural tour of Alcoy, mapping out the former walled centre to discover the oldest part of the town. And if you fancy going even further back in time, visit La Sarga cave paintings for a great example of Valencian prehistoric art.
