One of the most interesting pages of Spanish history tells us about the Christian Reconquista, the Spanish reconquest of the lands from the Moors .  For years, the land of Spain were in the possession of the Moors, with which the locals were constantly at war largely on the grounds of religious beliefs .  At the beginning of the 13th century Aragonese troops of King James I (Jaume I) managed to win the Moors Valencia .  Substantial assistance in the King had the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, whose members originally called loannites, and after a while the Knights Hospitaller .  In the early part of the 13th century, the Knights of the Order moved to Spain, where he supported the King James (Jaime) Aragon .  In gratitude for the assistance given to the Knights of the Order of the King more land .  It is part of the land donated by the king in the 13th century the church was built, which was later called the Church of the Maltese Knights Hospitallers .

The original church was built in the Gothic style, the main phase of its construction was carried out between 1238 and 1261 years. The final construction was completed in 1316. The church building, made mostly of brick and stone, has 36 meters long and 19 meters wide. The walls are decorated with narrow Gothic windows. Inside 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 building of the church and bell tower suffered significant damage.
