Church of the Incarnation: identity and heritage

The Archdiocese of Granada identifies the parish of La Encarnación in Huétor Vega.

The IAPH heritage register describes its Mudejar architecture, a nave with wooden framework and stone doorways. It proposes the construction of the current church between 1552 and 1567 as possible: this chronological proposal remains a possibility, not as an unequivocal date of construction.

To visit the interior, consult the opening of the parish and respect the religious celebrations. Ask about the entrance and accessibility conditions if you need to avoid steps or move with a wheelchair.
