The church of San Miguel Arcángel The castle in Tolox was built in the early 16th century on the ruins of the old castle. Over the course of its history, it has undergone significant changes, the most devastating of which was the fire that engulfed it during the Moorish rebellion (16th century), after which it was restored on several occasions.
The church consists of three naves, the central one being the widest, with a gabled roof covered in Moorish-style tiles and a bell tower at the apse. It has two entrances: the one on the main façade, featuring a semicircular brick arch flanked by pilasters, and the side entrance—which is normally used—that has similar characteristics, except with double pilasters. On its wooden door, we find curious carvings, including a rocket. And this should come as no surprise, given that In Tolox, there is an ancient tradition of the Cohetá, in which, on the feast day of its patron saint, San Roque (August 16), a procession is held in honor of the saint amid the deafening roar of thousands of fireworks.
Inside, the naves are connected by traditional semicircular arches, and the central nave features a beautiful Mudejar-style coffered ceiling reminiscent of the one in the Church of La Encarnación in Ojén. In the chapels housing the various statues, part of their original painted decoration can still be seen.
The bell tower consists of several sections; the bells are housed in the top section, beneath semicircular arches. It is topped by a hipped roof. As with other churches, it has traditionally been believed that this tower was part of an ancient minaret.
