Plaça del Fadrell.

Bell tower of the church of Sant Vicent Ferrer, built during several periods from its foundation, as a temple of a convent, in 1579. During the long process of construction and remodeling of the building, a mixture of styles was produced, but the predominant ones were the Baroque and Neoclassical. The current building is from 1835. The bell tower is older, it was built between 1661 and 1688.
