Esta pila de agua bendita la encontramos a la entrada de la iglesia, está realizada en mármol, pero no sé porque razón en su día la pintaron de color marrón, gracias a dios el tiempo le está devolviendo su color natural.

"Iglesia arciprestal de la Asunción de la Mare de Déu de Albaida.

Es un gran templo gótico construido entre 1592 y 1621, aunque restaurado con posterioridad.
Tienen un alto campanario que primero fue torre vigía, a la que se le añadió el remate con el reloj y lugar para las campanas.

Tiene una sola nave y capillas, y dos portadas renacentistas.
Dentro hay óleos de Segrelles, una pila bautismal de marmol del siglo XVIII, relicarios y valiosas esculturas".

We found this holy water font at the entrance of the church, it is made of marble, but I don't know why it was painted brown in its day, thank God time is restoring its natural color.
