Situated in the heart of Villahermosa del Río, Iglesia Parroquial de la Natividad de Nuestra Señora, La Natividad de Nuestra Señora Parish Church, is a conduit between history and art. The Gothic and Renaissance altarpieces, masterpieces of Valencian art dating to the 14th and 15th centuries, bring the place of worship’s glorious past to life.

Attributed to the master of Villahermosa, a disciple of the renowned Jaume and Pere Serra, the altarpieces tell a story with each and every brushstroke. The Santa Catalina Altarpiece by Joan Reixach is an exceptional work of art. The three sections comprise different paintings, depicting scenes of the birth and life of Santa Catalina de Alejandría, that are enriched with gold.

Not only are these masterpieces a form of artistic expression, they also provide an insight into an era of devotion and creativity. Every centimetre of the works showcase the care that went into making them.

The church is much more than an architectural monument: it is a lasting reminder of the creativity, faith and connection that unites generations over the centuries.
