What to see in Bentarique
Church of Our Lady of the Assumption
This is a simple Alpujarra-style Mudejar church that was built at the beginning of the 17th century.
It was erected to replace another church that started construction in 1530, but it was completely sacked during the bloody Moorish rebellion in 1568.
The current tower was built in 1860, and it is topped by a singular spherical cap. This was to replace the previous one that was totally destroyed during the 1804 earthquake.
