Saint John the Baptist’s church

Plaça de l'Església, 1

Saint John the Baptist’s church is one of the oldest preserved in the province of Castellón, built in the XIIIth century (and remodeled in the XVIIIth) it’s Gothic in style and has the appearance of a fortress, it is for that it could be built taking advantage of the walls of some old fortress, possibly the old castle, or simply have been fortified in another time. The silver crenellated tower and the added cross of gold in the municipal shield of Benafigos make reference to the Church of San Juan Baptist. Inside you can see different Gothic arches as well as the Chapel of the Virgin of the Ortisella, from the twentieth century.
