Only one in every three religious temples in Benidorm is Catholic
The Benidorm cultural and religious diversity is extraordinary, for instance, only one of every three religious cultural centers located in the city belongs to a Catholic church.
The majority of religions in Benidorm are Lutheran, Jehovah witness, Calvinist and evangelists, all of these protestant.
The religious cult centers in Benidorm has multiplied in the past years but the catholic centers that use to form the majority in Benidorm have now come to be the minority.
The main reason for this is the immigration of people from many different countries who bring their different religions and have opted to create spiritual cultural places in their new homeland.
Catholic Orthodox celebrate their weekly ceremonies in the church of the Buen Pastor. Muslims and Jews have also found places of prayer in this tourist city.
There are three authorized mosques in the municipal surroundings, and the Jews have their synagogue in the Belin street.
The latest religion building to obtain its permit is the Romanian Evangelist church in the l’Aigüera avenue.
