The San Jose Church, a declared Cultural Interest Site in the category of Monument, is a significant historical site located in the municipality of Puerto Real, Cadiz, in Andalusia. Its full name is Antigua Iglesia de Jesus, Maria y Jose, and it was constructed in the last third of the 18th century. The church is situated in the heart of the historic center of the town, making it a central point of interest for visitors.

Current Use of San Jose Church

Today, the San Jose Church no longer serves as a place of worship but has been repurposed as a cultural and exhibition center for the town. The church was initially built in 1770 to replace the old San Andres hermitage, which had fallen into a state of disrepair. This transformation from a religious site to a cultural hub adds a unique layer to the church's history and appeal.

Architectural Style of San Jose Church

The San Jose Church is a prime example of religious architecture typical of the neoclassical period. It is designed as a hall church with three naves, a dome at the crossing, and a crypt under the presbytery. This architectural style and layout provide a glimpse into the religious and architectural practices of the time.
