The Church of the Most Holy Christ of the Blood in Benigànim stands on the remains of an ancient Arab mosque, adapted for Christian worship after the conquest by Jaume I.

Reformed in 1739, a new sacristy and a gilded altarpiece with frescoes of the Passion were built. In that same year, the image of Christ was solemnly transferred to its new chapel. It retains original elements such as the northward orientation of the mosque, the previous Romanesque tower of the original church, the Gothic vault from 1391, and the Baroque transept, wooden roof, and ancient walls.

Additionally, it features magnificent decorative elements, such as its frescoes and Manises ceramics. It is a symbol of local devotion and an essential part of the religious heritage of the municipality, declared as BRL.
