GRAND TEMPLE IN CARCAIXENT HAS AMAZING STORY OF SURVIVAL

As you drive into Carcaixent, the wonderful ceramic dome of the Church of the Assumption of Carcaixent (Església de l'Assumpció) catches your eye, sparkling in the sun. As soon as you reach the town centre, you will find this Catholic place of worship in the town's main square.
