Fourteenth-Eighteenth centuries.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThis parish church is the oldest, most celebrated and principal of Arcos. These titles were awarded by the Sacred Roman Tribunal in 1764. <strong>It was declared a National Monument in 1931 and Minor Basilica in 1993.<\/strong> The temple, separated from any surrounding buildings, settles on the remains of an Arab mosque and has been under construction for six centuries which has led to the mix of architectural styles and the participation of different professionals such as Diego de Ria\u00f1o, Juan Gil de Honta\u00f1\u00f3n, Alonso Rodr\u00edguez and Mart\u00edn de Ga\u00ednza. It owes its main features to the works undertaken between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The main fa\u00e7ade demonstrates the fusion of late Gothic and early Plateresque. On the right side (Plaza del Cabildo) you can see the unfinished bell tower, designed by V. Bengoechea after the earthquake of 1755. The tower is square and has three sections: entrance, balcony and bell tower. In the second section, the images of San Pedro, San Pablo and the Immaculate Virgin.\r\n\r\nThis is a late Gothic hall-church, with three naves of equal height and a monumental curved apse. The naves are separated by circular pillars made of beamed rods, supporting complex star-ribbed vaults.\r\n\r\nAlthough everything inside is worthy of admiration, it is worth noting the Retablo Mayor, an altarpiece which is a true Renaissance jewel; the Gothic mural painting; the uncorrupted mummy of San Felix; the Nieves chapel which houses the image of the patron of Arcos; the extravagant organ and the choir, considered one of the best in Andalusia.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>OPENING HOURS:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nMonday: 11.00 am &#8211; 1.30 pm\r\n\r\nFrom Tuesday to Saturday: 11.00 am &#8211; 1.30 pm \/ 4:30 pm &#8211; 6:30 pm\r\n\r\nSundays only Basilika: 9.30 am &#8211; 2.00 pm\r\n\r\nExcept Sunday mass hour: 11:00 am\u00a0 (No cultural visit)\r\n\r\nThe Tower is visited every \u00bd hour in groups of 6 pax\r\n\r\nPrice: \u20ac4 pax (Church + Tower)[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1497330579291{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 35px !important;background-color: #ededed !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;7\/12&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;\u00bfTienes alguna duda?&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|font_size:36px|text_align:left|color:%23323232|line_height:42px&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fadeInUp&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;3\/12&#8243; dt_animation=&#8221;wow fadeInUp&#8221; dt_animation_delay=&#8221;0.4&#8243;]<div class=\"button-right\"><a  class=\"dt-button green  round  dt-icon-left\" href=\"#\"><i class=\"fa fa-paper-plane-o\"><\/i>FORMULARIO DE CONTACTO<\/a><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<!-- \/wp:post-content --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; parallax=&#8221;content-moving-fade&#8221; parallax_image=&#8221;1859&#8243; el_id=&#8221;about-us&#8221; dt_color=&#8221;#abd8a6&#8243; dt_color_opacity=&#8221;70&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1617956265582{padding-top: 300px !important;padding-bottom: 90px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243; dt_animation=&#8221;wow fadeInUp&#8221; dt_animation_delay=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row&#8230; <a class=\"excerpt-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.turismoarcos.es\/en\/basilica-menor-de-santa-maria\/\"><span>Read More<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6113","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turismoarcos.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turismoarcos.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turismoarcos.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turismoarcos.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turismoarcos.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6113"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/www.turismoarcos.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6113\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16485,"href":"https:\/\/www.turismoarcos.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6113\/revisions\/16485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turismoarcos.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
