Church of the Encarnación of Vélez-Rubio

Highlight • Religious Site

Vélez-Rubio is a town that has amalgamated cultures over the centuries. Its urban center presents a very interesting architectural ensemble, mainly from the 18th and 19th centuries. Although some of its neighborhoods retain the medieval spirit of the convoluted and narrow streets.

On the other hand, its surroundings have a marked agricultural character dominated by fields of olive groves.
