Iglesia Parroquial de San Mauro y San Francisco, San Mauro y San Francisco Parish Church, is one of the classic landmarks in Alcoy that you cannot miss during your trip to Alicante. Originally a Baroque-style temple, this church was rebuilt in the 1940s having been destroyed during the Civil War.

The church stands right next to La Glorieta Park, a former allotment that was turned into a public garden. Go on a cultural tour around the fascinating town of Alcoy and discover historic gems such as its Art Nouveau buildings and the old walled town.
