Quart de les Valls
Village
Quart de les Valls is a municipality of El Camp de Morvedre, in the province of Valencia, in the northwestern sector of the Vall de Segó. Its Cova de la Collita shows signs of occupation since the Bronze Age, and already in Roman times the area was under the influence of Sagunto; after the conquest by James I it formed part of the County of Almenara, belonging to the Próxita family, until the abolition of lordships in the 19th century. With 1,029 inhabitants, it lives off dryland farming and irrigated orange groves. Its parish church, begun around 1771, is attached to the former convent of the Servites, which served as a school and seminary until the secularisation of 1835; it preserves a small 18th-century hermitage dedicated to the Christ of the Agony and the Fuente de Cuart, with a crystal-clear lake surrounded by centuries-old pines.
Church of San Miguel Arcángel de Quart de les Valls
Monument
The church of San Miguel Arcángel stands in the centre of Quart de les Valls, in the province of Valencia. Its construction, in Baroque style, began around 1771 on top of an earlier small Gothic temple and continued until 1780. It is attached to the former convent of the Servites, which served as a religious school and seminary until its secularisation in 1835; afterwards, the conventual building, by then in ruins, was demolished in 1965 and only the church was preserved. It is a single-nave temple with a straight chancel and side chapels between the buttresses, covered with a barrel vault with lunettes, and its bell tower, attached to the main façade, has three sections: the lower ones in rubble masonry and ashlar, and the bell section in brick.
Hermitage of el Santísimo Cristo de la Agonía de Quart de les Valls
Monument
