The photograph looks up at the vault of El Salvador Church in Eslida. White and gold reliefs, plant motifs and part of a sculpture fill the frame. These are not castle remains or a view of Font de Matilde.

El Salvador retains Baroque and Rococo design

The provincial tourism record dates the church to the 18th century and highlights its Baroque and Rococo features. The photographed vault reveals that interior decoration, although the partial frame does not document the complete building, its objects or current visiting conditions.

The castle retains a triangular-plan tower

Remains of the Muslim-origin castle stand on a rocky outcrop. The official source highlights a tower unusual for its triangular plan, while municipal planning records warn that the remains are in an advanced state of decay. It is an exterior ruin, not the church, and access should not be assumed.

The route links springs and mining heritage

The council map starts PR-CV 352 in Plaça del Molí and follows it past Blavet mine, Puntal de l’Aljub, Coll de Barres and several springs. In Chóvar ravine, Font de Matilde comprises the lower Gregori source and the upper Matilde de Dalt source.

This documentary edit separates church, castle and route. It does not verify opening, worship, vault, sculpture, stability, access to ruins or mines, flow, potability, route, signs, fire restrictions, hours or accessibility on site.
