Located on one side of the Plaza de España is the main monument of the town, the Church of Santiago Apóstol, witness of the passing of past generations, and waiting to be discovered by present and future generations. The Church dates back to the 18th century and its construction covered the period of 1636. It was commanded to be done by Don Gaspar de Rocafull and Boyl. It is of Levantine baroque style and is built on a Latin cross plan. It has an area of 1252 m2 and is oriented to the west. The Cover is baroque, but in the ornamental it has influences of the French Rococo. It was completed around 1755. In it we find a niche that houses the round-shaped sculpture of Santiago Apóstol, dressed as a Pilgrim.
