Description

It is located on what was the hermitage of San Miguel and San Antonio Abad. This hermitage began to be built in the 16th century and was a subsidiary of the church of Santa María de Ontinyent until December 31, 1953 when it was converted into a parish by Mr. Marcelino Olaechea y Loizaga, archbishop of Valencia. It consists of a nave with buttresses and covered by a barrel vault resting on Corinthian pillars.

The modernist bell tower dates from 1916. At the end of the civil war it was reformed again, acquiring its current appearance. It featured images such as the Virgin of the Rosary, the patron saint, and San Antonio Abad. The temple has a large number of carvings of saints. The church has been better illuminated and restored images with high personal value.
