Parish Church of the Holy Kings of Yátova

Monument · Yátova, La Hoya de Buñol, Valencia

The church of the Holy Kings, on the plaza de la Constitución in Yátova (Valencia), is a Catholic temple in Baroque style originating in the 17th century and remodelled in the 18th. It is believed to stand on an old mosque, of which the bell tower would be a vestige of the minaret, although in its current form the bell tower can be dated to the first decades of the 17th century. The façade, with almost no decoration, draws the eye towards the lintelled doorway, flanked by Corinthian columns and topped by a broken pediment supporting an aedicule with an empty niche. The temple has a Latin-cross floor plan and three naves: the central one, covered with a barrel vault, and the side ones each with a half-barrel vault.
