Parish Church of Benlloch


Benlloc

Dedicated to St. Abdon and St. Sennen. It is structured around one nave with side chapels and a polygonal apse and a sacristy on the sides. The facade is Renaissance and is adorned with richly-worked columns. The starred vaulting over the presbytery is a clear example of the character of Gothic solutions in these local regions. Next to the facade is the bell tower, at about 25 metres high, which is accessed by a spiral staircase with more than 150 steps.

It looks like a fortress with a defensive tower at the back of the building, along with a wall section attached to the church.

One of the bells in the bell tower, La Sargantana, is considered to be one of the oldest in the Comunidad Valenciana region.
