Parish church of Saint John and Saint James the Apostle of Montaverner (La Vall d'Albaida, Valencia), built in the 18th century over an old Almohad tower and the original Gothic parish of Saint James the Apostle. Neoclassical in style, it was erected between 1735 and 1758 on the initiative of the parish priest Dr. Esplugues, and its bell tower was built between 1758 and 1762; it has, embedded in it, a Roman column and a capital bearing the bars of Aragon. It houses the chapel of the Immaculate Conception from the early 18th century, a neo-Byzantine baptismal font from 1909, eighteenth-century paintings and an eighteenth-century monstrance, as well as images of the Cristo de la Paciencia and Saint Blaise by Galarza and an Our Lady of Loreto from 1995.
