The chapel of los Pasos de Santiago - murcia car hire
Murcia Online Reservation
The Christian conquest of Murcia was undertaken by Alfonso X towards
the middle of the XIII century. This meant an administrative and urban
organization of the whole Region. Cities started changing and the new
rules used the buildings already present.
The chapel of los Pasos de Santiago, located in the street named after
it, is an example from this uncertain period, and maybe the oldest of
its kind in the Region. It has only one nave, with transverse arches
and a wooden roof, and reminds us of some Valencian models.
There are a number of remarkable military buildings from this period
Among them, the castle of Lorca, readapted, like so many others, by
the victorious troops from Castle and Aragon. Its Torre Alfonsina,
erected by order of King Alfonso X still stands imposingly over the
triple line of defensive walls.
