Iglesia parroquial de la Purísima Concepción
Baroque church from the mid-18th century, dedicated to the patron saint and built on the old mosque: the base of its tower was the minaret from which prayer was called. Its apparently symmetrical façade hides intentional differences with a sun and a moon on the pillars. The main altar houses a large Byzantine icon painted on panel by Francisco Arlandis.

It is founded on the mosque, whose tower base was the minaret. The current late baroque building dates back to the mid-18th century. The façade appears symmetrical but presents a sun and a moon on its pillars. It contains a Byzantine icon painted on panel by Francisco Arlandis, a renowned iconographer of the Slavic tradition.
