Parish Church of the Holy Kings of Benissanó

Monument · Benissanó, El Camp de Túria, Valencia

Church located next to the castle of Benissanó, which preserves paintings from the 15th to the 17th centuries, some attributed to the Renaissance painter Juan de Juanes. The original temple was built in the second half of the 15th century at the instigation of the Cavanillas and Villarrasa families, lords of Benisanó, with a main Gothic nave and two side aisles covered with Mudejar coffered ceilings. Among its works it preserves a 15th-century Adoración de los Reyes by Paolo de San Leocadio, an image of a Nazarene attributed to Juan de Juanes and a 17th-century Virgen de los Desamparados. Damaged in the Civil War, it was restored in 1945 and again in 1983, and in 1992 a new neo-Gothic building was consecrated; it has venerated the Virgen del Fundamento, patroness of Benisanó, since 1699.
