    The splendor of this church shines in the square, the construction of which was fully financed by the residents of the city. Its baroque facade and its austere and lavish bell tower are one of the jewels of the Valencian Baroque. As we look at the door, we are greeted by a retinue of saints who rest in their niches on sturdy pillars. In the highest part stands out the figure of the Archangel Saint Michael, who carries his characteristic sword and waits to deal the final blow to the devil. The main altar of this extraordinary church has as its main element a beautiful painting depicting Saint John shortly before his beheading. Inside the temple is a museum that exhibits some religious pieces that survived the looting during the Civil War.
