Iglesia (Church) de los Santos Juanes in Valencia, Spain
Iglesia de Santos Juanes - Sight-seeing / Attractions in Valencia, Spain
Iglesia
de los Santos Juanes is one of the oldest in Valencia and is a National
Heritage site. When you view Mercado Central
and La Lonja you won't be able to miss this impressive church that completes
the triangle. Look at it from La Lonja and you will be amazed by the beauy
of its elaborate Baroque facade and complexity of its detail. Walk behind
it and it becomes something entirely different - an almost deserted, simple,
huge and monumental Gothic structure, a ghost-like ambience. A very curious
building.
History: the first church was built in 1240
on the site of an old mosque. It was consequently modified in 14th and
16th centuries, with the baroque element appearing in 17th century.
