Special mention should be made of the Baroque-style Christian church, which is a deeply revered religious symbol for the residents of Raval.

Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Valencia (Region) Located in the Moorish area of the town of Oliva, this church was built on an ancient Mudéjar mosque from the 15th century and was later rebuilt in the 19th century. It features a beautiful tower from the 20th century, standing over 5 meters tall. The dome and neoclassical exterior are particularly striking from the outside. Inside, you must see the neoclassical main altarpiece, but most importantly, the Baroque-style Christian church and its beautiful murals painted by an Italian artist. The important day to celebrate Christ is May 1st, known as 'Day of the Cross.' On this day, various associations, neighborhood groups, and institutions decorate the streets with large crosses filled with flowers. Although the festival of the Sant Roc parish, Sant Roc, is on May 3rd, this is an important day to celebrate the festival of Crist de Sant Roc, with the main activities including numerous ceremonies and processions through the narrow streets of Raval de la Mare de Déu.
