The murals of Jesús Mateo

Curiosity · Alarcón, La Manchuela Conquense, Cuenca

Image of Alarcón, not of the place itself.

The painter Jesús Mateo covered the interior of the church of San Juan Bautista with a cycle of murals produced between 1994 and 2002, a work that had the backing of UNESCO. It has become the town's leading contemporary artistic draw.
