Monuments
SANTA MARÍA CHURCH
A good example of Valencian architecture of the epoch, it has
three Naves. It was begun in the Baroque style and was ended in
the academic – classical style. The belfry stands out, as
does the chapel of the Virgin of the Rosario and the ‘transagrario’,
which acts as a buttress to the apse. It shelters a museum of
ornaments, images and gold work, in which it is possible to see,
among other pieces, a chalice from the Centelles family from the
XVI century
