The Old Convent of the Augustinians is the most significant building in the village of Huecija.

It was built in the first third of the 18th century, replacing the church that was built in the 16th century, of which there are few vestiges.

It is one of the best examples of Baroque architecture within the province of Almeria.

Church of the Annunciation2
 
The Church of the Annunciation replaced the old church that was built in the second half of the 16th century, which was burned during the Moorish rebellion in 1568.

The church has no tower as it was demolished in the 20th century.

This is because it was in a severe and dangerous state of ruin, and to make an extension of the street where it was located.

It is replenished by the Fountain of Huecija.

It consists of a rectangular brick built nave that is open at both ends with a series of arches.

In 1965 it underwent an extension and was restored in 2007, with a wicker roof to showcase the local artisan industry.
