The Church of Santa María la Mayor in Padules, built in the 16th century on the site of an old mosque, reflects the Mudejar influence in its architecture. Throughout its history, it has undergone significant transformations, from the destruction of Christian symbols in the Alpujarras War to restoration in 1890 and damage during the Civil War. Today, it stands out for its sobriety and preserves artistic elements, such as the coffered ceiling and paintings by Gerda Swane.

Despite the vicissitudes, it preserves notable elements such as the coffered ceiling and paintings by Gerda Swane. Its patron saint, San Antonio Abad, celebrates his feast day on January 17, while Santa María la Mayor, the Patron Saint of Padules, is honored on the first weekend in August.
