Monument · Massamagrell, L'Horta Nord, Valencia

Parish church located on Plaza de la Constitución in Massamagrell, in the comarca of l'Horta Nord, whose temple dates from 1797, in the middle of the 18th century. It has a square-plan baroque tower 47.5 metres high up to the tip, with a classical decorative finial and Doric-style pilasters on the semicircular arches, and houses five bells known as the Cimbolet, the Marina, the Valenciana, the Secana and the Saguntina. The priest and painter Joan Celda de la Visitació, head of the parish between 1980 and 1995, left examples of his work on the walls of the temple. The building holds the status of Bien de Relevancia Local (a regional heritage-protection listing in the Comunitat Valenciana).
