Monasterio de El Puig







King Jaime I of Aragon, who was conquered Valencia from the Moors, founded this monastery in the 13th century to affirm Christianity in Eastern Spain. This monastery is believed to have printed the first book in Spain in 1474. It currently holds 240 paintings from between the 16th and 18th centuries. It also holds a copy of the world’s smallest book.
