Monument

Calle San Benito, 38D, Porcuna. 23790, Porcuna How to get

In 1437 it was a priory of the Order of Calatrava after the conquest of Porcuna in 1240 and a Benedictine monastery. This Gothic church faithfully synthesizes the Cistercian spirit of the order and integrates Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque and neoclassical elements that are very different from each other. It consists of two "L" shaped naves, the main one with arches and capitals with plant motifs. Outside it exhibits a baroque façade and a bell tower with an 18th century roof. It has been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest since 2003.
