What to Visit
Hermitage of Calvario

Hermitage whose construction is estimated between 1846 and 1897. Repaired several times, has an extraordinary situation as it is a natural viewpoint of the urban core of Taberno rising in the highest area of it.

Hermitage of Calvario

What to Visit
St. Joseph Church

Church of the mid-eighteenth century, having its own archive and books from 1769, working from that date as a branch church of Velez Rubio, being served, depending on the periods by one or two priests, who acted as coadjutors of the church of Vélez Rubio, but it would not be until June 1, 1900 when it becomes its own Parish. The territorial scope that the bishopric of Almeria assigned to it when the parish of Taberno was constituted, did not coincide exactly with the municipal term, serving as an example that of the district of Santopetar that belonged to the parish of Santa María de Nieva. This church was built by the residents of Taberno with dedication to San José, the deceased being buried inside the same church, until the old cemetery was created, located in the current street of Pablo Picasso and later, in the current one.

St. Joseph Church

What to Visit
Church of Los Llanos

Church built with devotion to the Virgin of Carmen, if this church stands out for something, it is for the singularity of its procession, since it does not have a route or an approximate duration, because it is a procession to bid (auction). It is a normal procession, with the difference of the existence of some mayordomos, who change every year and who welcome the position with love and devotion, are in charge of directing the procession. These mayordomos take a bid (bet) who will take the virgin from the church 30 euros to take the virgin !! Any companion of the virgin can shout, I go up to 40 euros !! After a few meters traveled with the Virgin is returned to auction with the same system. We also bid for the Virgin to go through a street or another, the one who pays the most will decide the journey of the procession, even if someone wants to stop at your door you must pay and in addition, pay again to continue. That money goes to pay for repairs to the church, improvements in the image, etc.
