Iglesia parroquial de San José
Parish from 1621 under the castle rock. The main church of the town, between the houses and the climb.
Under the rock of Cofrentes castle, the church of San José is the main church of the town. It dates from 1621 and orders religious life between the houses and the fortress climb.
History
The parish went up in 1621 as the church of the town below the castle. Its 17th-century fabric keeps the character of a sober inland rural church, plain outside and cared for inside. The visit needs half an hour between the square and the climb.
What to see
The 1621 nave, the high altarpiece and the tower marking the centre. Above stand the Soledad hermitage and the castle; the afternoon calls for the spa.
Tips for your visit
- Step inside if open, then climb to the hermitage and the castle.
- Ask about worship times before planning the day.
