The church of San Juan de la Cruz is one of the first to be founded after the conquest of Jaime I. Its current configuration dates from between 1602 and 1615.
This beautiful, single-storey church is rectangular in layout with a vaulted dome and the typical side chapels in pure Renaissance style. The most noteworthy features on the outside are the Salomonic columns and the frontispiece over the fore-part of the church. Inside, be sure not to miss the chapel belonging to the Fishermen's Guild. Its central location (near González Martí Ceramics Museum), beauty and valuable artwork (including paintings and sculptures) make it a popular church with passers-by and tourists. Mass: 7:30p M-Sa, noon Su.
