Church of San Antonio Abad de Alcublas

Monument · Alcublas, Los Serranos, Valencia

The parish church of San Antonio Abad, on the Plaza de la Iglesia and Plaza de Florentina Mañes in Alcublas (Los Serranos, Valencia), occupies the town's original centre, although the current building only dates back to the 17th century. A fire in 1917 destroyed part of the roof, the main altarpiece, the organ, the choir and the side altars, and its effects caused the collapse of the bell tower in 1946, requiring successive reconstruction works. It is a single-nave building with an octagonal dome and rubblework walls reinforced with ashlar. Among its holdings, the 17th-century sculpture of San Antonio Abad and the 13th-century parish cross stand out, the latter made in silver and gold by the Valencian silversmith Eloy Camañes. It is listed as a Bien de Relevancia Local (a heritage protection category at local level).
