Long description
The church of San Pedro was built on the site of the Franciscan Convent which was destroyed by the earthquake that occurred in the year 1790 and which in turn settled on the site occupied by an ancient medieval mosque located in the eastern area of the Islamic wall. The construction of the current neoclassical temple dates back to the year 1795 following the guidelines of the architect José Antonio Munar although in the 20th century, during the Civil War, the building was modified when a shelter was built inside and when the dome of the bell tower was damaged left by the impact of a projectile. After the war, in 1940, this property was restored following a rigorous anastylosis process that left the color differences between the visible tiles to be able to differentiate the old parts from the restored ones.
