Description

The Parish of San Miguel Arcángel was the private oratory of the monks of the monastery of Simat de la Valldigna from the second half of the seventeenth century until the disentailment of Mendizábal in which the friars were expelled from the convent and expropriated of their property.
It was enlarged and catalogued as a parish church, thanks to D. Juan Fernández (also known as D. Juan de Torrent) during the 19th century, of which the current façade and the two bells remain, the larger one called María Micaela in honor of San Miquel Arcángel (patron saint of the church) and the smaller one called María Pastora in honor of the María Pastora (patron saint of Barx).
