The royal parish of Santos Juanes, or "Church of San Juan del Mercado", has been a National Artistic Monument since 1947. Its origin dates back to 1240, when a church was built on a mosque. The building was then refurbished in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The Santa Catalina Mártir temple is a Valencian Gothic church built on the site of a mosque. Partly destroyed during a fire in 1548, it was rebuilt and took on a Baroque appearance at the end of the 18th century.
In the seventeenth century, the church of San Nicolás and San Pedro Mártir successfully modeled a baroque interior in its original Gothic building, dating from the fifteenth century.
The basilica of the Virgen de los Desamparados is an important church of Valencia, as a sanctuary of its patron saint celebrated every second Sunday of May. The building dates from the 17th century.
