Monument · Relleu, La Marina Baixa, Alicante

Image of Relleu, not of the place itself.

The church of Santiago Apóstol of Relleu, in the Marina Baixa of Alicante, was built in the 17th century on the village's old cemetery. The building was demolished at the end of the 19th century and its reconstruction was not completed until 1931. It holds the oldest bells in the whole province of Alicante. Relleu, of Muslim origin, was conquered by James I of Aragon, and this church represents the Christian religious infrastructure built after the conquest.
