SANCTUARY OF THE VIRGIN OF MONSERRATE

SANCTUARY OF THE VIRGIN OF MONSERRATE

This temple features a blend of neoclassical and exuberant Baroque styles, housing a revered altarpiece and the cave of a significant religious discovery.
The House of the Patroness of the city is a temple that was erected in her honor to preserve and guard the cave where, according to tradition, her discovery took place. Although its predominant style is neoclassical, with a sober and elegant decoration, the main altarpiece is a true decorative explosion of the most exuberant Baroque, housing the Virgin's dressing room, heart and pillar of Orihuela's faith.
