Description

It occupies the site of the old Islamic oratory, a total of 235 m2. The nave of the temple is divided into five sections by segmental arches that gravitate on pilasters of composite order. The round arches between the arches are very low, half-barrel vaults.

On the foot side, there is a heart with a wooden railing over the main entrance. The plasterwork and the composite order, as well as the baroque altarpiece of the main altar, disappeared in 1936, are due to an important reform carried out in 1754. The bell tower, built at the end of the 19th century, has three bodies with loopholes and a small top, unique in the Vall d'Albaida in the mannerist style.

The exterior is partly polished, although in the corners it preserves the original stone. There is a wrought iron cross at the top. It is part of the Parish Church of the Nativity of the XVII century, and is located at the foot of the nave, on the Epistle side.
