Discover the fascinating heritage of Bolbaite. Start your exploration at this pretty parish church.

Iglesia Parroquial de San Francisco de Paula, San Francisco de Paula Parish Church, stands proudly at the centre of Bolbaite, a pretty town in the county of La Canal de Navarrés. Having undergone multiple transformations over the centuries, the Neoclassical-style church visitors see today was constructed in the 18th century.

This church features a 19th-century bell tower built in masonry. Its facade, adorned with an ornate postal in the late Baroque style, is a striking feature that reflects the artistic accomplishments of the period.

Step inside and you’ll encounter a relic of San Francisco Paula himself, as well as the church’s pretty side chapels.

After visiting the church in Bolbaite, take a short walk out of the centre and climb up to the chapel where you’ll find the ideal picnic spot. Bring your swimsuit if you fancy a dip in the water, as Cadena Gorge boasts a scenic riverbank beach - great for outdoor swimming.
