    Parish of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación, very close to the Castle of Olvera.

      Brief historical overview

      This castle surrounded the medieval city and was part of the defensive line of the Nazarene of Granada, built at the end of the 12th century by the Chetani over an Arab fortress after its reconquest by Alfonso XI after a stege in 1322 during the War of Granada Since the castle no longer has military importance, it serves to exercise defensive functions

        Olvera is higher than the surroundings, so you have a great view to all sides from the top of the church.
