Description

The parish church of Vallanca is one of the oldest in the Rincón de Ademuz, having been documented as early as the first third of the 13th century. However, the parish church that we can see today, which came to replace the old one, took on its definitive appearance at the end of the 17th century. It is a Baroque building, at least in its cladding. It was restored after the Civil War.
It has a longitudinal plan with a wide central nave and five interconnected side chapels and a baptistery.
It has three naves with pillars and attached columns, semicircular arches and barrel vaults with lunettes, a choir and a tower at the foot of the Gospel nave. The most outstanding feature of the interior is the use of sgraffito decoration, which covers columns, arches, vaults and cornices, whose motifs are characteristic of the last decade of the 17th century and are executed in white on a black background.
Although present in other churches in the region, the sgraffito work in the parish church of Vallanca is particularly extensive and perfect and is undoubtedly the best preserved.
