What to see in Lucar
Church of Saint Mary
The Parochial Church of Saint Mary is the most important religious centre of the town and was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 1931.
Its construction dates back to the 13th century and is one of the three churches in the area but without a doubt the most important, from the religious, architectural and historical point of view. It is estimated that it was built between 1214 and 1251 and that it was built, like other religious structures in Almeria, on an old mosque.

It is a beautiful temple with three naves, built mainly with bricks, separated from each other by horseshoe arches that were later replaced with a pointed Gothic ribbed vault that is attached to the central nave through an arch.
It also has a large and compact tower with two bodies, which also functions as a bell tower.
