Visit one of the most emblematic temples in Orihuela, a city packed with historical buildings and artistic heritage sites.

The Iglesia Parroquial de Santas Justa y Rufina, Parish Church of Santas Justa y Rufina in Orihuela, is a fascinating Gothic temple built on the site of an old mosque. It owes its name to the city's two patron saints, who are closely linked to the town's history.

The church, with its single nave and lofty height, amazes visitors with its harmonious blend of styles: from Catalan Gothic to Baroque, with Renaissance additions that enrich its architectural wealth.

Don't miss the imposing Gothic bell tower of the Church of Santas Justa y Rufina, with its terrifying gargoyles and one of the oldest clocks in Spain, or its beautiful Renaissance Gospel portal. Inside, artistic treasures abound, such as the Lignum Crucis, or relic of the true wood of the holy cross, and the image of the Virgin of the Rosary.

Visiting this church is like discovering centuries of art and history in one place, in a city with a heritage in monuments that will leave you breathless. You simply must include it on your list of monuments to see in Orihuela!
