The San Onofre Church in Alguazas features mudéjar and neoclassical styles

Step into the remarkable church of San Onofre, a notable example of mudéjar architecture. Located in the Region of Murcia, the church began construction in 1529 by the master mason Alonso de Cabrera in the mudéjar style. The church's central nave is typical of these works, composed of plaster walls and a wooden artesonado.

The wooden artesonado is supported by pointed arches, similar to those of the San Bartolomé de Ulea Church. In the late 18th century, the building was expanded with a central-plan header and a neoclassical work by the architect Lorenzo Alonso. This expansion includes a dome topped with a lantern, situated over pendentives decorated with fresco paintings of the four Evangelists.

The church is home to several significant works of art, most notably an organ from 1734. This instrument, which measures five meters high by three meters wide, was recently restored in a workshop in Cuenca. The church also houses several religious sculptures and mural paintings representing the four Evangelists.
