Beautiful church in the center of town. Make sure you check out the inside as well. The door is off to the side of the bulling.

300 total reviewsA very pretty, small and quite intimate church in the heart of Nerja. It's a pleasure to enter, even for a moment, to pray. Cool and very atmospheric. It's worth a quick visit if you're nearby.
Beautiful and intimate small church next to the balcony.
A small church close by the Balcon de Europe. Lovely architecture and nativity scene when we visited in January. We wanted to light a candle and were a little disappointed after putting 1€ in the slot nothing happened. The gentleman at the entrance did not understand so we made a donation at the door.
I do love this Chapel for its location in the centre of Nerja. I've visited regularly over the past 10 years or more when in Nerja. I love to see a wedding or celebration unfolding as the warm days endure. It's beautiful. The reason for my 4 stars is there are no candles to light anymore. They've been replaced by plastic - made in China battery operated ones which frankly is disappointing and makes the whole place feel a bit fake and a façade. Jesus wept
