Religious monuments
The Church of San Nicolás, located in the neighborhood of El Grau, is an exponent of the religious buildings of the twentieth century. It is considered a work of high architectural quality, with a trapezoidal structure that adapts to a projection of the port, placing it in a prominent place of the same, like a ship that enters the sea. It was inaugurated in 1962 to replace the old church destroyed in the Civil War. It was the work of the architect Gonzalo Echegaray Comba and the engineer Eduardo Torroja Miret, a reference in the use of structural concrete and designer of the stands of the Zarzuela Hippodrome in Madrid. The church opens laterally to a beautiful arcaded courtyard, from where you can also follow the worship; a really special space. The nearby Grau parking lot has reserved parking spaces for vehicles for people with reduced mobility. <span class="automatic-translation-warning">This text was automatically translated.</span>
