Culture and History

Casa d’Ayora was remodelled in the French Neoclassical style. The Church of Sant Bertomeu Apòstol was built in 1788. Molí de Blat was built in 1856; its building recalls the rural structures known as "Masies". Molí de Galí was the first mill built in the municipality of Almussafes. Part of its original structure is still visible next to a modern industrial rice complex. Part of Molí del Carmen is still visible in the industrial area around the Ford factory in Almussafes. Together, these buildings illustrate different historical connections: a Neoclassical remodelling, an 18th-century church building and mills whose year of construction, original structure and visible remains each play a distinct role.

Walking Routes and Green Spaces

Avinguda de la Foia is a promenade used daily for walking and cycling, providing access to two former mills. Parc Central is one of 12 green spaces in Almussafes. This area therefore combines a well-used promenade with two former mills and a single green space within the town’s larger collection of green areas.
