Vandalism and Defacement at Church of San Roque in Almeria
A church in Almería became a repeated target of vandalism and interior defilement, including acts described as humiliation of the site.
The incident occurred in the early hours of 31 October 2025, when unknown individuals forced entry into the Church of San Roque in the Pescadería district of Almería and carried out a serious act of vandalism, causing damage to doors, cupboards, lamp holders, and donation boxes. The perpetrators also defecated inside the sanctuary, constituting a deliberate desecration of the church.
The vandalism and defilement caused significant distress and outrage among parishioners and local religious organisations, who described the event as a humiliating attack on their place of worship.
Authorities are continuing their investigation, noting that this is the second incident in recent months at the same church, following a previous disruption during a Palm Sunday vigil.
The Brotherhood of San Roque has described it as “an offence to the Christian community.”
