Parroquia de Belén
In 1727, the Order of Bethlehemites requested cooperation and assistance to establish a hospital with a hospice-convent and the Temple of Belén in this city.
Shortly after 1773, construction of the building began on the grounds of the former Cervera mining estate.
Its facade is in Churrigueresque Baroque style and still retains its original carving. Five figures can be observed in its niches.
Inside, the side altars and the magnificent main altar stand out.
