Este cementerio no tiene nombre en la entrada, la única tumba en el suelo está fotografiada y la placa está deteriorada, las demas tumbas son nichos, es un cementerio muy pequeño, no hay mucho más que fotografiar, estamos hablando de un cementerio de un pueblo de solamente 26 habitantes.

"Encima del mismo, y junto a la ermita, se localiza el cementerio municipal del siglo XIX, de donde destaca el panteón de las señoritas Batalleres, de un estilo que recuerda a la arquitectura barroca valenciana del siglo XVIII. Se trata de un cubículo cubierto por una cupuleta curvilingua de tejas, segmentada en cuatro vertientes. Las cuatro esquinas estaban coronadas por sendos jarrones, como por ejemplo, y en lo más alto, con un elegante ángel de maceta, que llevaba en brazos una cruz y pedía silencio poniéndose el dedo delante de los labios. Esta figura, hurtada en la década de 1990 por unos desconocidos, no ha sido recuperada en la restauración efectuada en 2003. Es una lástima. Habría que recuperarlo, porque hay fotografías de la década de 1970, cuando todavía se conservaba, y no costaría demasiado dinero. También ha desaparecido la placa de mármol con letras doradas que anunciaba, sobre la portezuela del panteón, el nombre de la familia allí dentro enterrada. Sospechamos que el promotor de esta construcción, datable del tiempo en que fue construido el ceenterio, sería el hombre más rico del pueblo: Macià Bataller, propietario de viñedos e impulsor también de la construcción de una fabriqueta de guardián bajo del pueblo . Los “Señoritos” de linaje Bataller del siglo XX son descendientes suyos."

This cemetery has no name at the entrance, the only grave on the ground is photographed and the plaque is deteriorated, the other graves are niches, it is a very small cemetery, there is not much else to photograph, we are talking about a village cemetery of only 26 inhabitants.

"Above it, and next to the hermitage, is the 19th-century municipal cemetery, where the pantheon of the Misses Batalleres stands out, in a style reminiscent of 18th-century Valencian baroque architecture. It is a covered cubicle by a curvilingual dome made of tiles, segmented into four slopes.The four corners were crowned by individual vases, for example, and at the top, with an elegant potted angel, who carried a cross in his arms and asked for silence by putting his finger on it. in front of the lips. This figure, stolen in the 1990s by unknown persons, has not been recovered in the restoration carried out in 2003. It is a pity. It would have to be recovered, because there are photographs from the 1970s, when it was still preserved , and it wouldn't cost too much money. The marble plaque with golden letters announcing, on the pantheon door, the name of the family buried there has also disappeared. We suspect that the promoter of this construction, dating back to the time it was built the ceenterio, would be the richest man in the town: Macià Bataller, owner of vineyards and promoter of the construction of a low guardian factory of the town. The "Señoritos" of the Bataller lineage of the 20th century are his descendants."
