Museo Parroquial San Juan Bautista
Religious art from the parish of Alcalá de Chivert: metalwork, images and vestments kept beside the church of San Juan.
The San Juan Bautista parish museum brings together the religious art of the parish of Alcalá de Chivert. It sits within the complex of the church of San Juan, in the town centre, and holds liturgical metalwork, devotional images and vestments used in local feast days.
The collection
The holdings come from the parish itself and from donations by local families. They are liturgical pieces from different periods, of interest to anyone following local religious history and as a complement to the church visit.
What to see
The visit pairs with the church of San Juan, in the same complex. Opening depends on the parish, so ask at the church or the town hall before going.
- See the church of San Juan first; it houses the museum.
