The Church of Our Lady of the Annunciation is the parish church of the town of Huécija (Almería – Spain). The building is in the 18th century Mudejar style.

The primitive church of Huécija, main church of the old Taha de Marchena, was built in the second half of the 16th century and was dedicated to the Holy Trinity, but was sacked by the Moors in the revolution of 1566. At the end of 1578, the visitor Alonso López de Carvajal reports that the church burned down and mass was being held under a shed. It is known that in the middle of the 18th century there was a nave with a sacristy and a tower, which is now completely missing. In addition, floors had to be laid and the roofs repaired. In addition, it had become too small to accommodate all the faithful. Therefore, the senior teacher Juan José Fernández Bravo proposed the construction of a gallery above the main entrance, after ruling out the possibility of expansion due to lack of space. Finally, the increase in population led to the expansion of the church, which consisted of a new choir with transept, leaving it practically as we know it today. Although it was badly damaged after the Civil War and its interior was almost destroyed, it was restored and reopened for worship in 1991 and is now used as the town's parish.
