Alcalá de Guadaira-Iglesia de Santiago
Santiago Church

The Santiago Church is in the town centre, not very far away from the Fortified Compound and the Santa María del Águila Church.

The foundations date back to 1500. The Gothic floor plan consists of three naves covered with rib vaults. Parts of the Church are Neoclassical (18th century).

It is one of the most significant buildings due to its architectural features.
