.
The main façade of this church is really rather splendid. Its imposing
Renaissance portal is similar to the Cathedral’s doorways and above the
door are magnificent sculptures including one depicting St. James,
Slayer of the Moors. This church is one of the oldest in the town. It
was built in the times of Bishop Fray Diego Fernández de Villalán who
occupies an important place in the annals of the Church in Almería
because of his zeal as priest and founder of new buildings in the city.
His shield is also to be found above the main door.
