Church of Sant Jaume - Sant Crist Chapel

Church of Sant Jaume The parish church is located next to the medieval wall, occupying the site where the primitive church of the fourteenth century was built. This construction, deeply linked to the history of Alcúdia, originally had the appearance of a fortification and in fact, on top of its roof, surveillance work was carried out. Its structure was part of the wall. In 1870, the state of deterioration of the temple caused part of the roof to collapse, leaving the church unusable, which was later demolished and built again in neo-Gothic style in the same place that the original construction had occupied. The works lasted until 1893. The present church has a single nave and side chapels with a ribbed roof. The presbytery is presided over by a neo-Gothic altarpiece, the work of L. Ferrer and M. Arcas, dedicated to San Jaime. On the main façade, the tympanum of the doorway houses a sculpture of St. James, the work of Remigia Caubet. A large rose window illuminates the interior of the temple, and above it, topping the facade, you can see the coat of arms of Alcúdia. Chapel of Sant Crist This construction next to the church was built at the end of the 17th century. It was erected to guard the image of Sant Crist, a polychrome carving from the 15th century, to which the miraculous events of 1507 are attributed. The chapel is of baroque style and can be accessed from inside the parish church. It presents a cover adorned with a dome in its central section. The head of the church contains the altarpiece, also in baroque style, which contains the carving of Sant Crist, which can be accessed by two side staircases.
