Visit one of Llíria’s symbolic sites: a magnificent religious sanctuary with so much history to uncover. Step right in!

Real Monasterio de San Miguel, San Miguel Royal Monastery, is located in Llíria, very near València. This very special place of worship in the county of El Camp de Túria has seen different civilisations and countless pilgrims pass through its doors over the centuries.

Located in a peaceful place that fosters meditation and respite, San Miguel Monastery sits on a hill among Bronze Age remains and alongside an Iberian settlement said to be linked to the ancient town of Edeta. Findings and research carried out have concluded that this historic site in Llíria was particularly important during Roman times. The site boasts spectacular views of the surrounding scenery and you can now visit both the Monastery and the Iberian remains for a journey back in time.

San Miguel Royal Monastery as we know it today dates back to 1326 when King James II set out to create a secluded sanctuary for prayer. The King’s wish was fulfilled for 500 years until the church fell into the hands of a religious order. Featuring a neoclassical style, the church is home to fascinating frescoes, paintings, sculptures by renowned artists and impressive gold work.
