One of the most interesting pages of Spanish history tells us about the Christian Reconquista, about the retake Spanish lands from the Moors. For many years the lands of Spain were in possession of the Moors, with whom the locals were in constant war largely on the basis of religious belief. In the early 13th century Aragonese troops of king James I (James I) managed to win Valencia from the Moors. Substantial assistance in this king had the knights of St. John of Jerusalem, whose members were originally called the knights, and after a while the Maltese knights Hospitallers. In the early part of the 13th century the knights of the order moved to Spain, where he provided support to king James (Jaime) of Aragon. In gratitude for the help the king gave the knights of large land. It is in part donated by the king of the land in the 13th century a Church was erected which was later called the Church of the knights Hospitallers.

The original Church building was built in the Gothic style, the main phase of its construction was completed between 1238 and 1261 for years. Finally, the construction was completed by 1316. The Church building, made mostly of brick and stone, is 36 m long and 19 m wide. The walls are decorated with narrow Gothic Windows. Inside there is an ancient altar, created in the late 13th century. In the courtyard of the Church in the 17th century bell tower was completed.

During the Spanish civil war the Church building and bell tower suffered extensive damage.
