About the Camacha Parish Church


The parish of Camacha, in the municipality of Santa Cruz, is home to the Camacha Parish Church, a religious space that combines baroque and neoclassical architecture. It was built in the late 18th century and is currently classified as a Property of Public Interest.

The rectangular floor plan of the Camacha Parish Church consists of a single nave and a gable façade with a stone portal. Notwithstanding its beautiful exterior, it is the interior that is the centre of attention, featuring the Joanine-style Baroque altarpiece and the tiles surrounding the triumphal arch. Similarly, the paintings on the nave ceiling, made at the beginning of the 20th century, are also worth beholding.

There are therefore more than enough reasons to admire the Camacha Parish Church, a religious space with unique characteristics.
