San Lázaro Obispo, situated in Alhama de Murcia, Spain, is a remarkable example of architectural fusion, featuring both Baroque and Neoclassical styles. Erected during the 14th century, this Roman Catholic church boasts an elaborately designed portada, characterized by Tuscan-order pilastras, a simple architrave, and a floral frieze, showcasing the Baroque influence. On the other hand, the camarín's simplistic design, circular space, and Neoclassical attributes reflect the era's architectural trends. San Lázaro Obispo church also boasts the Marian anagram in its portada, a statue of Our Lady of Gracia, and a chapel of the Rosary. Despite undergoing modifications in the 18th century, the original designs and structural elements have been carefully preserved.
