Route of the Temples is a tourist route in Melilla, Spain, which includes a visit to the main 4 temples in the city. The route begins with a visit to the Church of the Immaculate Conception, the oldest in Melilla (1657), in late Romanesque style and with a Baroque interior, on whose altar is the much-venerated image of the city's patron saint, the Virgin of Victory. Next, tourists head to the Or Zaruah Synagogue, a modernist building from 1924. The next temple to visit is the Hindu Temple, also located in a modernist building, and finally the Central Mosque, founded in 1950.[2][3]
