Houses and Streets

UB108
Auditorium, Holy Chalice

On the outskirts of the town there was a pottery. The current promenade began in the Second Spanish Republic (each neighbor was responsible for taking care of a tree and the surrounding plants) , although its current form corresponds to the 60s and 70s. In addition, the Glorieta is the result of cooperation and volunteerism, since it was carried out by residents of different trades, to whom we pay tribute (Antonio Bàguena, Antonio Canelles, Rafael Celda, Rafael Compañ, Luis Carlos Compañ, Ricardo Compañ, Miguel Fernández, José Ibáñez, Joaquín Llopis, Vicente Maraguat and Leonardo Serra). With their effort, human and material, they made possible the current promenade.

Holy Chalice

Turisme Comunitat Valenciana promotes the project on commemorative works of the Grail Route. It consisted of 24 sculptural steel panels, made by the artist Antonio Peris Carbonell. One of them represents Algímia’s bond with this relic.

On July 5, 1959, the Holy Chalice passed through the town, being deposited in the fountain, whose monumentality served as a frame, and from there the parish priest, Modesto Guanter Ros, blessed the town. This fact served as a stimulus to decorate the fountain for the Corpus Christi celebration.
