Sant Joan de l'Hospital church, Gothic church in Ciutat Vella, Valencia, Spain

The Sant Joan de l'Hospital church exhibits a single nave with a pointed barrel vault and medieval chapels decorated with Gothic period murals.

The church construction began in 1261 following King Jaime I's land donation to the Order of San Juan del Hospital and Malta.

The medieval altarpiece featuring Saints Vicente and Gil represents the church's artistic legacy, now preserved in New York for public viewing.

Regular biblical courses, including the Gospel of Saint John explanations, take place at the church for residents and visitors interested in religious education.

The building structure contains a rare architectural fusion where the fourth nave section displays the transition between early construction styles and Gothic design.
