Church of la Purísima de Segart

Monument · Segart, El Camp de Morvedre, Valencia

Parish church built of rubble masonry in Segart, constructed between 1796 and 1802 in late Classicist style, dedicated to the Immaculate Conception; a plaque on its façade recalls that it was raised “in honour and glory” of this advocation, whose name was given by Saint John of Ribera during his time as Archbishop of Valencia. The poverty of the people of Segart, who had to pay for the works, led to them being granted permission to work on them on Sundays and public holidays. It was raised to entry-level parish status on 28 December 1953, having previously been a chapel of ease of the parish of Albalat dels Tarongers. In the 1991 restoration, the original bell tower was replaced with a new one with three arches, with a main bell from the 17th century and two others, called Santa Cruz and Ecce Homo.
