Arcos de la Frontera

Church of Santa María.

The Church of Santa María faces the main square. After Arcos was reconquered from the Moors in the 13th century, this church was built — atop a mosque. The church has a fine but unfinished bell tower. The old one fell in the earthquake of 1755 (famous for destroying Lisbon). The new replacement was intended to be the tallest in Andalucía after Sevilla's — but money ran out. – ricksteves.com
