San Juan del Hospital Church

In the 13th century, the San Juan del Hospital Church was the priory of the Knights of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem with a hospital attached and it was converted into a military parish in the 18th century. Built around 1261, it is considered to be the first church built after the Christian conquest. Its combination of the synthesis and elegance of Romanesque tradition with the new gothic architecture and the fact that it has the only cemetery dating from medieval times in Valencia, led to its classification as a National Historic and Artistic Monument in 1942.
