Basílica de la Virgen de los Desamparados

It is the sanctuary of the Virgin of Valencia.

The only church located in the old part of the town that has not been built on the ruins of former churches and convents. It has an elliptical floor and radial naves. Its vaults are decorated with frescoes by Antonio Palomino from the beginning of the XVIII Century.

The chapel is located behind the arch of the Major Altar and on both sides of the statues of the Saint Martyrs St Vicente mártir (Patron Saint of the town) and Vicente Ferrer (Patron Saint of Valencian Community) by Esteve. It has been built in Baroque style and venerates the statue of the Virgin with the baby Jesus on one arm and with a white lilies bouquet on the other one, and at her feet there are two children who represent the Saint Innocents. The basilica has the peculiarity of having the dome displaced to the Cathedral.
