Church of St. Raymond Nonnatus
Zurgena acquired in 1525 the authorization to be able to count on an own parish church, without depending on the Huercal-Overa municipality, as it had done since its origins until that moment.
The Parish Church of Saint Raymond Nonnatus was built in 1560 on the remains of a mosque. It is not strange that many of the churches of Almeria have been built on the ruins of a mosque, taking into consideration the Arab influence and the past history of this province.
Due to its late construction, specialists have defined the style of this church as Neo-Mudejar.
