Església parroquial de Santa Maria
Parish church of Peñíscola, formerly dedicated to the Virgen del Socorro, located in the historic center. It combines Gothic tracery from the 15th century with sculpted corbels and a door of Romanesque tradition. It stands out for its link with the Borja house, since Bishop Alonso de Borja, future Pope Calixto III, was consecrated there.
