Church built between the 16th and 17th centuries where a mosque used to be. The interior houses several artistic gems and frescoes from past centuries.

PEGO - old town is a very cozy place for a short break. Although the church was already closed, nevertheless, the church staff kindly gave us the opportunity to visit it.

The Església Parroquial de l’Assumpció de Nostra Senyora in Pego is considered the city's most important Catholic church. Its construction began in 1599 on the ruins of an earlier church, which itself had been built on the site of a former mosque. Completion continued into the late 17th century, while the distinctive bell tower was added between 1700 and 1725. Stylistically, the church combines elements of Gothic and Renaissance architecture, representing the so-called "Gótico-Renaissance" style.

Inside, one finds significant works of art, such as the 14th-century Double Veronica, the 15th-century altarpiece of the "Mare de Déu de l’Esperança," and a processional cross from the same period. After the Spanish Civil War, frescoes and paintings were restored, including works by the Valencian artist Rafael Cardells. Historically, the church served as the center of the archpresbytery of the region and is today an outstanding testament to the religious and artistic history of Pegos.
