The church "Santuario de Santa María Magdalena" is considered a very unique and outstanding work within the Valencian modernism. It is no coincidence that it bears a certain resemblance to the Sagrada Familia Antonio Gaudís in Barcelona. José Sala Sala, the architect of the pilgrimage church, was clearly inspired by the world-famous building by Antonio Gaudí.

The parish of this church has chosen a very special saint to entrust to the patronage of the church and congregation: Santa Maria Maddalena (originally named "Mary Magdalene" after her home on the Sea of Galilee) is honored in theology with the honorary title "Apostle of the Apostles" due to her prominent position in the biblical accounts. The evangelists report that she, along with other women, wanted to anoint the body of the crucified Christ, but found the tomb empty. After the resurrection of Jesus Christ, she was the first person he ever encountered. The feast day of Santa Maria Magdalena in the calendar of saints is July 22nd.
