church of santa maria

ideal place to get away from the cold wintry days in the UK,for a while.the hotels are less crowded and no beat the rush at meal times !Lots of lovely walks in and around Mojacar, and mountain villages to visit.

Plain on the inside but with an interesting mural from Mojacar's artisan period. The outside is amazing with lovely little cafes dotted around various small squares.

Very peaceful and quiet.. Just to sit and Pray to God ..how wonderful it is to enjoy the life we have.. enjoying Peace,Good Health,Wealth,Family and Friends ..then it is wonderful to express it in such a place like this Church! God Bless us all..we are fortunate travellers others are in the middle of war,famine or even poverty..in a Church as solemn as this ..how wonderful to sit and think!

Go in if the church is open it's beautiful inside. 20 Euros to light a candle to remember a loved one.

Wandering round this fabulous village perched on top of a hill in the Sierra Cabrera mountains, we came across the Church of Santa Maria a lovely white painted church, nestled among the cobbled twisty streets of the Pueblo. Calm and serene inside, it has a lot of history, as have many of the churches and villages in this area of Almeria. Well worth a visit, early morning, or late afternoon before enjoying a drink on the terrazzo of the village overlooking the vast plains

Located in the heart of Mojacar Pueblo, the Santa Maria Church was built in the 16th century over the remains of a mosque. The building serves as a religious and defensive fortress. The interior is simple and real, with few paintings of patron saints of the pueblo. The hilltop village is in the foothills of Sierra Cabrera Mountains. The narrow cobbled streets are full of shops and restaurants. The parking in the village is very limited, so came early in the day and park near Plaza Nueva.

A typical example of a Spanish church - lots of flowers & wall paintings - lovelyAlthough very small there were lots of interesting things to see.Behind the altar was the most beautiful wall art .

Beautiful church situated in the centre of Mojacar Pueblo. Internal painting delightful. An oasis of quiet in what can be a very busy little hilltop village.

superb setting in this mountain top village, interior decor is stunning,and the square outside is very tranquil. also the courtyard on the one side of the church is a super setting for three seperate evening eating outside venues......jaune the best one....home cooked food..great setting.

The church is very welcoming and has recently celebrated 500 years!!!!!!It is situated in the heart of Mojacar pueblo (village). As such it is a bit of a walk to get there but well worth the visit.

In the centre of Mojacar Olde Town the church is stunning and very welcoming - a must visit. A beautiful bell tower tolling on the hour leads you through the little maze of streets to the chuch at the heart of the town.

Lovely tranquil spot in the centre of this sugar cube village. decor inside the church has to be seen to be enjoyed.

The Church of Santa Maria is just around the corner from the busy Plaza Nueva and is certainly worth a short visit. It is typically Spanish and appears to be open on all days. It will not take more than a few minutes to see it all but it also provides a peaceful and cool escape from the bustle of Mojacar Pueblo.

Please spend a few quite moments here. On a hot day a great place to take breather.Also great cafe bars nearby in the square.There are a few steps.

Bellísima iglesia en una población preciosa. Típica estructura árabe edificada en un pequeño colina con calles y casas pequeñas y sinuosas. Todo muy blanco y cuidad. Las vistas desde la iglesia son privilegiadas, la arquitectura del templo recuerda a una fortaleza y el interior es sencillo y sobrecogedor. Obligatoria su visita
