The church Elche raised over the mosque Alfonso X consecrated in 1265 and over a first Gothic church that was pulled down. Work began in 1672 under Francisco Verde, Nicolás de Bussy carved the three portals between 1680 and 1682, and it was finished in 1784. A fire in 1936 partly destroyed it. The Misteri d'Elx is staged here each August.
