Iglesia de San Juan Bautista (Manises)
1734-1751 parish church damaged in the Civil War, plain stone exterior with tiled dome. Historic core.
The San Juan Bautista church is the parish church of the historic core of Manises, next to the museum. Built between 1734 and 1751, it was burned in the Civil War and restored afterwards, with a plain stone exterior and tiled dome.
History
The 1734-1751 parish replaced the earlier church of the pottery town. The Civil War fire damaged it, and the later restoration gave it its present nave-and-chapel form.
What to see
The nave, the chapels and the tiled dome above the old quarter. Pair it with the ceramics museum and the Obradors quarter walk, with the Arquets aqueduct at the ravine edge.
Tips for your visit
- Check parish hours before going.
- See the museum first, then the church.
- Respect worship if the church is open.
