Image of Benifaió, not of the place itself.

In the district a Roman villa occupied between the first and fourth centuries was excavated. In 1922 an altar dedicated to the god Mithras appeared there, an uncommon testimony of this eastern cult in the Peninsula, which today is kept in the Museum of Fine Arts of Valencia.
