Details
it is located in the Barrio de Roca de Meliana. In 1989, Melchor Almela Lagarda, a nativity scene master, and Francisco Pascual Albiach, together with a group of friends and family, decided to participate in the nativity scene contest organized by Peña la Forca and the Meliana City Council. They won third prize, something that encouraged them to continue expanding their work, both in size and complexity. They re-entered the contest and won a well-deserved first prize. Every year the nativity scene was disassembled and reassembled, although as of 2005 it was permanently installed in its current location
