Monuments
One outstanding monument is the "Nuestra Señora
de la Inhiesta" Parish Church. It is of Mudéjar
style, with gothic and renaissance elements. It consists of
three neaves, of which the centre nave has a wooden roof,
whereas the side aisles have crossover vaults. The door onto
the Plaza de la Constitución is on one of the sides,
which is also the basis for the bell tower.
Monument to "La Petenera", in the square of the same name,
nexy to the Avenida Blas Infante. A tribute to Peteneras flamenco
singing, which originated in Paterna de Riviera.
There are a number of charming streets with ancient buildings
of different styles, with open patios and first-floor galleries
on pillars and iron archways; entrances to rectangular open
patios with decorative arches; country houses that retain
the air of the past.
