Sanctuary of the Saliente
The Monastery of Our Lady of the Saliente is a favourite place for visitors and locals.
An emblematic place of Albox that for years has received praise for its architectural structure and unique beauty.
It has about 300 years of history, and since 1992 was declared an Andalusian Historical Heritage, being also one of the largest monasteries in eastern Andalusia.
Inside this monastery is the image of the Virgin of the Saliente, patroness saint of Albox and of those who are the inhabitants of several nearby towns, who attend this shrine to pay tribute.
It is a great architectural work, whose construction reaches 2,500 square metres and which, according to legend, has as many windows and doors as days in the year. The floor of the church is a Latin cross and a large dome that frames the main altar, giving it an imposing appearance.
