Church of San Esteban

Built on the site of an old mosque, the church of San Esteban has the typical layout of Valencia's Gothic period parish churches, with a single nave and chapels between the buttresses. However, the church underwent major Baroque style alterations during the 17th century. Its outward appearance is very plain, featuring buttresses topped by gargoyles that jut out from the smooth wall, a simple doorway leading onto Plaza de San Esteban and the bell tower standing alongside.

Valencia Cathedral

The Catedral de Santa María (Cathedral of Santa María) in València, popularly known as La Seu, is the headquarters of the Archbishop of València and it was the wish of King Jaime I that it should be dedicated to the Assumption of Mary. It was consecrated in 1238 by the first Bishop of València following the Reconquest, Fr. Andrés de Albalat.

Catedral Basílica de Segorbe

La Catedral Basílica de Segorbe was built over the site of the old mosque after the region was conquered by the Crown of Aragón. The cathedral was designed in the Gothic style back in the 12th century and attached to the city's south wall. Over the centuries that followed it was gradually extended northwards. The last major renovation work was carried out in the 18th century to adapt it to the enlightened tastes of the time.

The church of Cristo de la Sangre

The church of Cristo de la Sangre, in the Valencian town of Jérica (Alto Palancia) is a religious building dating from the 17th century. It was built in the Baroque style but later refurbished in the Neoclassic style. The church is catalogued as an Asset of Local Importance, as recorded in the Dirección General de Patrimonio Artístico de la Generalidad Valenciana (Valencia Regional Government's General Directorate of Artistic Heritage).

Parish of La Asunción de Nuestra Señora

Set in the heart of the historic centre of Alboraya is the town's majestic Virgen de la Asunción parish church, dedicated to the Virgin of the Assumption following the tradition set by King Jaume I when he reconquered lands occupied by the Moors in Valencia. The building, which dates from the 18th century, has a high altar presided over by a wood carving of the Assumption, flanked by two other wood carved figures of the Apostles Peter and Paul.

Church and Convent of Santa Cruz

The Iglesia de Santa Cruz is in Plaza de la Iglesia in Llombai. The monument has been listed as an Asset of Cultural Interest since 1982.

The old church was founded by Bishop Ramón Gastó in 1329 and was dedicated to the Santos Juanes. The church became part of the Dominican convent by papal bull issued by Pope Paul III. The convent was a donation from Francisco de Borgia, first Marquis of Llombay​, to commemorate his marriage to Leonor de Castro. The building was completed in 1548.
