MUDEJAR OF THE CHURCH OF LA ENCARNACIÓN IN COMARES

Comares
The church of Santa María de Comares was built in the 1530s on the site of the former mosque, following the model of Santa María la Mayor de Vélez. It is therefore the second Christian temple to be built in La Axarquía. First the main chapel was built and years later the three naves with Gothic brick arches and beautiful Mudejar-style wooden coffered ceilings. The orientation of the mosque was preserved, although the direction of worship was changed.
