Iglesia de Santa Catalina

The Iglesia de Santa Catalina is dating back to 1411, built by the Guzmán family at the request of the local people. It was originally in the Mudejar style .

The Church of Santa Catalina has always been the main church in Conil de la Frontera. Located just a few metres from the Guzmán Tower, in the heart of the town.

This building with three parallel naves through pointed arches has undergone numerous transformations throughout history, particularly in the 17th and 18th centuries, most notably the main altar and bell tower.

A cemetery was added next to the church in 1800, giving it its current appearance a reflection of the transformations undergone in the 19th century.  

In 1930, it was closed for worship due to its poor state of preservation following the latest renovations. In 1993, it passed into municipal hands, where it was converted into a Tourist Interpretation Center. The building has been declared a Cultural Heritage Site.Read more
