Los orígenes de este templo de Abarán se remontan al siglo XVI, tras una orden papal que obligaba a convertir las mezquitas en iglesias. Se trataba de una pequeña iglesia con techo de cañas y maderos, con imágenes pintadas sobre papel y sin sagrario, pues no había clérigo encargado. Actualmente podemos encontrar dentro de esta Iglesia una casulla del Cardenal Belluga y como obra escultórica, el Cristo Adyacente de José Planes.

Temple of Saint Paul

This church devoted to St Paul is one of the oldest in the region of Murcia. It was built on the ruins of an old mosque in the 16th century and enlarged in 1790.

Although the outside of the church shows simple lines, in the interior the decoration is Baroque with several chapels and decorated dome. The main altar of the church is devoted to St Paul and in it we can see his image surrounded by spiral columns.
