Things to see in Almàssera
To begin with, you can take a wander through its town centre and make your way to the 18th-century Parish Church of Santísimo Sacramento. Then, just nearby, in the plaza del Ayuntamiento, you’ll find Casa Llopis, a building with a really standout façade, that’s decorated with the typical mosaic tiles, or trencadís, from the nearby Nolla factory in Meliana.
After discovering the traditional houses along the oldest streets in Almàssera, we’d definitely suggest heading over to its Museu de L’Horta, or Huerta museum. It is a really interesting place, as it makes use of the old slaughterhouse to display an exhibition that brings you closer to the area’s local ethnological heritage.
And, of course, when you’re in Almàssera, you absolutely have to spend some time exploring the huerta, either on foot or by bike, as you take in an incredible plain crossed by an age-old irrigation system: our network of acequias.
