Traveler reviews
Pasan Sensouk
★★★★★a month agoThe artwork and paintings inside are true masterpieces! Even though the main painting is on the smaller side, it is incredibly beautiful and absolutely worth the visit. The hourly light projection show is also nice. Just a quick tip: if you’re visiting during the summer, be prepared because it gets quite warm inside the church.

★★★★★9 months agoVery beautiful inside, so much paintings, smelling good. At every fixed hour it's a light show which we enjoyed and I recommend you don't miss it! From all the Valencian churches, this was the most special.
