Almería – Iglesia San Sebastián
In Moorish times, a mosque stood here and later, in Christian Almería, it became a shrine to Saint Sebastian. In the 17th Century, the church was built. It was consecrated in 1679, during the Bishopric of Antonio de Ibarra whose coat of arms can be observed above the side door.
Almería – iglesia Santiago
The main façade of this church is really rather splendid. Its imposing Renaissance portal is similar to the Cathedral’s doorways and above the door are magnificent sculptures including one depicting St. James, Slayer of the Moors. This church is one of the oldest in the town. It was built in the times of Bishop Fray Diego Fernández de Villalán who occupies an important place in the annals of the Church in Almería because of his zeal as priest and founder of new buildings in the city. His shield is also to be found above the main door.
