San Esteban Church

Description

St. Stephen's (or Esteban) is one of the oldest churches in Valencia. It is built in the Gothic style on the site of a mosque that stood in the city when it was under Muslim rule. It is a rather small church, not far from Valencia Cathedral.

According to one legend the site was that of an old Roman temple dedicated to Hercules. St. Stephen's was the notaries' church. The main church is open on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation; the chapel is open daily for mass.
