What to see in Ohanes
Church of the Conception
The church is strategically located in the town's central square, where it stands out for its monumental size and height, as well as its beautiful neoclassical design. It is worth mentioning the size of the bell tower that crowns the main portal.
It was built between 1790 and 1795 by the architect Manuel Martin Rodriguez, who was a disciple and nephew of Ventura Rodriguez, and its construction is one of the finest examples of 18th-century Spanish architecture.

Ohanes Fountain
Fountains were fundamental elements of the traditional culture of the Alpujarra of Almeria, as they facilitated domestic hygiene before the public supply of water was connected to rural dwellings. These works were carried out in the sixties and seventies of the last century.
This old fountain from the 20th century has two features: its location on the Acequia de la Vega, which is one of the most important areas in Ohanes, and that of being a viewpoint across the plain of the Chico River and the Andarax river valley.

Sanctuary of Tices

It is one of the few examples of religious architecture that is isolated from the population centre.
The sanctuary was built between 1800 and 1803, on the site of an old hermitage dedicated to Saint Mark.
