It has an imposing colourful facade that, on each side, has two bell towers showing its majesty. It also has a beautiful combination of cream, gray and white colours that transmit information about the moment and make us recreate or recall the chromatic atmosphere of that time.

The Garden House
The year of its construction is not known, although it possibly dates from the 18th century. This is confirmed by some writings that mention the first date as October 2, 1756. However, other places mention the transfer of the house in 1826.
It is the oldest house in the municipality and is a large inheritance whose owners (Los Murcia) were botanical lovers developing a beautiful garden. This led to the place also being known as the ‘Garden House’.
