Iglesia Parroquial de la Asunción de Nuestra Señora

The Parish Church of the Assumption of Our Lady stands on the Plaza de la Iglesia, in the old quarter of Navarrés. Rebuilt in the 18th century, it combines a neoclassical structure with delicate Rococo ornamentation, visible from the square.

History

The church seen today is the result of the rebuilding carried out in the 18th century, a period when architectural classicism coexisted with the decorative taste of the Rococo. That dual heritage explains the balance between the sobriety of its plan and the richness of its ornamental details, the result of a long parish life serving the town.

What to see

Two exterior features stand out as soon as you reach the square:

• The dome covered in colourful trencadís, clad in ceramic pieces that gleam in the sun, a hallmark of the Valencian tradition.
• The clock tower, which shapes the skyline of the old quarter.
• A small parish museum of sacred art, which holds pieces tied to the life of the church.
