A Gothic church rebuilt and enlarged in the 15th century over an old mosque, with a single nave and six chapels on each side. Between 1690 and 1693 Pérez Castiel covered the interior in stucco, and between 1697 and 1700 Dionís Vidal painted the frescoes designed by Antonio Palomino, which earned it the name of the Valencian Sistine Chapel. It can be visited outside the hours of worship.
