What to see in Turre
Church of the Immaculate Conception
The Parish Church of the Immaculate Conception was built during the 16th century. In 1859, the roof, which was in a state of deterioration, collapsed, so it began its reconstruction that was completed at the end of the 19th century. It was finished in the year 1863.
It is a neo-Gothic structure combined with Mudejar, with a Latin cross plan (like most churches of the time in Almeria), which has three naves and an octagonal dome that gives it an air of elegance.

Moorish Fountain
In 2015, the Moorish Fountain and several of its surroundings were recovered by the Municipality of Turre. This was done part of the policies they carry out to protect the historic heritages of the area and to boost tourism.
The fountain, dating from the period when the Arabs were settled in the area, had been partially collapsed by businessmen looking to build a parking lot there. However, in 1988 a group of inhabitants of Turre were organized in order to protect this heritage of the city, and they succeeded.

The reconstruction carried out by the City Council allowed for another face to be given to the source and even to the general area in which it is located. This has been a bonus to this old construction and is currently visited by many of the tourist.
Immaculate Conception Hermitage
This hermitage was constructed in 1889, by initiative and financing of the inhabitants of the town, which makes it of great importance and sentimental value.
