Description

Tall, slender and elegant, the baroque church of the Purísima Concepción has been guarding Pedralba for more than 300 years. Its impressive stone walls seem unapproachable to the eye.

Spectacular, it is the most representative monument of a town that proudly boasts of its temple. Built with rocks extracted from its own entrails, it keeps in every centimeter of its structure the pure essence of the land where it was born. If its façade, adorned with a moon on one side and a sun on the other, and in which its chiseled portico stands out, is beautiful, what to say about its interior.

To qualify it with the justice it deserves becomes little less than heroic. There, the main altar is the star. Golden and shiny, it protects its patron saint, the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception. This rests on a crown of flowers and is located between the figures of a castle and a well, which represent, they say, wisdom and protection. In them trust the many faithful who, daily, prostrate themselves at her feet to pay homage.
