Location of Church of Espíritu Santo in Spain

Espíritu Santo (Spanish: Iglesia Parroquial del Espíritu Santo) is a Roman Catholic parish church located in Riópar, province of Albacete, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain.

A church at the site was likely erected after the conquest of the region by the Christians in the 14th-century, however this church is not documented until 1475. The style mingles gothic and mudejar elements.[1]

It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1981.
