Church of San Vicente Ferrer de Algímia d'Alfara

Monument · Algímia d'Alfara, El Camp de Morvedre, Valencia

The church of San Vicente Ferrer, built in the 16th century, was raised on an old mosque converted into a church, which until 1574 was an annex of the parish of Torres Torres. It suffered severe damage during the civil war, after which it was rebuilt largely respecting its traditional layout: a flat façade with a simple lintelled doorway and an exposed-brick bell tower topped by a small dome of glazed tiles. Inside, with a Latin-cross plan, the nave is covered by a barrel vault in five Pompeian-style bays, and the main altarpiece, a modern work, is presided over by the image of San Vicente Ferrer, the church's patron. It also preserves a painting by José Camarón and a sculpture by Antón Vicente, the only work by this artist in Valencian lands.
