Church of San Juan Bautista of Instinción

Highlight • Religious Site

Located in Instinción, Almería, the Church of San Juan Bautista is notable for its age and elevated position on Plaza Francisco Salvador. It is one of the few churches to have survived the Moorish revolt of 1568 and features Mudejar architecture with a single nave and beautiful armor in the main chapel.

The Church of San Juan Bautista in Instinción, Almería is a historical monument that stands imposingly above Plaza Francisco Salvador. Unlike many other churches in the area, it survived the Moorish revolt of 1568, making it one of the oldest in the province. The Mudejar architecture is characterized by a single nave plan, with a main chapel that stands out clearly with a triumphal arch and choir at the base.

Instinción

Highlight • Settlement

Although its Roman origins cannot be proven with certainty, it can be said that it was an Arab estate from the Middle Ages. During the Al-Andalus period, the place was known as Estançihum. During the Nasrid period, it formed part of the Taha de Marchena and was the fief of the al-Nayar family.
With the Christian conquest, at the end of the 15th century, the Catholic Monarchs gave the entire Taha de Marchena to Don Gutierre de Cárdenas y Chacón.
Before the Alpujarras War (1568-1570), Instinción had 90 Moorish inhabitants and two old Christians. After the war, the place was left deserted. It would later be repopulated with 84 inhabitants from Cadiz, Extremadura, Zamora and the Spanish Levante.

Church of San Agapito

Highlight • Religious Site

This simple model of a Mudejar church, with a single nave drawer plan, was not always so minimalistic. Built in 1530, it managed to survive the Moorish rebellion, various fires and an earthquake, until it was moved to another location. However, during this journey, it lost the back section of the sanctuary and the main chapel, and was reduced to this simple temple. Inside, the old seventeenth-century roof armour has been restored. Behind its altar, raised by several steps, is the surprisingly modern main altarpiece, where the image of its patron, San Agapito, sits. Located on Calle Iglesia.
