Former Church of Santa Maria de la Mesa

At the present time the only thing that stands out is the tower built of irregular rigging with brick courses at different heights. The buttresses for its support stand out, located at each vertex of the hexagon, and in each of its faces the square mechinales are evident. The one we see today, by its structure, construction and use, must have belonged to the 15th century and was part of the Main Church built by the Christians after the first conquest of Zahara in 1407. It remains to be seen if it occupies the place that previously would have the mosque, as long as there was a permanent Muslim settlement would be logical its existence, and as in other cities conquered by Catholicism during the Middle Ages, the churches would be located on the old mosques. Currently it has been partially restored, and houses the interpretation and information center of the excavations and archaeological interventions carried out in the Medieval Village.
