I got married in this Church. My son was baptized and he also took his first communion here. I keep very special moments from this place; and the Priests who officiated each mass are the reason that those moments were unforgettable, for their kindness and their closeness to us. The Church captivated me the first time I entered.

Just 14 km from Valencia is the Puig monastery, a very good experience to have visited this place and the guide named María José, very nice, explaining everything in a super cordial dialogue with her, I recommend a visit to the monastery, a mythical site for Valencians where the conquest of our city was held for only 4€, great visit, thank you very much for everything.

It is a spectacular building. Only you say that from different kilometers, by road, you can see it… It is one of the buildings more representative of the identity and the history of the Valencian Country. A side, the printing museum that lodges in the interior is highly notable.
