Description

The parish of Foyos dates back to the time of the conquest and was very important, as in the 17th century its jurisdiction covered the neighbouring villages of Meliana, Albalat dels Sorells and Vinalesa. However, the old church was demolished in 1729, and the current church was built, the first stone of which was laid on 17 January 1730. The master builder Jose Minguez was in charge of the works. The façade is made of tiles and stone, the main door has two fluted Doric columns, the architrave is jagged and the bell tower is not as slender as those of the 17th century, but it stands out from the façade. The interior of the church is large, with three naves and the main altar dedicated to the Virgen del Patrocinio, patron saint of Foyos. The interior features several Baroque altarpieces, as well as Neoclassical imagery and paintings.
