Description
Iglesia de los Santos Juanes is one of the oldest churches in Valencia Spain. It is also known as the church of San Juan del Mercado (Saint John of the Market) since it is located just across a narrow street from the central market. The church was originally built as a hermitage on the site of an old mosque in 1240. It had to be reconstructed in the 14th and 16th centuries due fire damage. Its baroque style dates back to the end of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th centuries. It is known for beautiful frescos adorning the rooftop dome on the interior but at the time of my visit, they were being restored.
