The "Nuestra Señora de la Inhiesta"
Parish Church is one of the Paterna outstanding monument
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.
The Monument to "La Petenera", in the square
of the same name is 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.
