ENGLISH language guided tour San Patricio and the three plazas in Lorca, Monday to Friday
ARCHIVED ARTICLE 
San Patricio is alongside the tourist information centre in Lorca
Visit the emblematic Excolegiata (or Antigua Colegiata) de San Patricio, which was originally built to commemorate a victory in battle over the Moors in the 15th century.
Situated along the northern side of the Plaza de España in the centre of Lorca, it forms part of a series of buildings which have been awarded Item of Cultural Interest status, including the Town Hall, the Casa del Corregidor and various palatial residences dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. Towering over all of them, though, is the place of worship whose construction was decided upon to commemorate the victory which was achieved by Alonso Fajardo “El Bravo” against Moorish raiders from Granada in the Battle of Los Alporchones in 1452.
