Known as the “Valencian Sistine Chapel”, San Nicolás is one of the most attractive temples in the city, with nearly 2,000 square meters of perfectly restored frescoes that leave visitors breathless. The spectacular paintings that decorate the vault represent the twice the surface area of the frescoes in the Sistine Chapel in Rome. With more than 700 years old, Saint Nicholas, which was already a place of worship in Roman times before being a mosque and a Christian church later, is a clear example of coexistence perfect between a temple with a Gothic structure and a splendid baroque decoration.

Stop At: La Lonja de la Seda, Plaza del Mercado, 46001, Valencia Spain
It is a surprising Gothic building that puts to Valencia city on the list of World Heritage Sites.
It is not easy to see large civil buildings of Gothic architecture, which in our imagination we have more linked to the great cathedrals of central and southern Europe.
For this reason, in 1996 the Lonja de la Seda was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
This international body justifies the declaration because it is an exceptional example of civil Gothic, and represents the strength of trade in Mediterranean cities during the time of its construction.
It was built in just 15 years during the 15th century.
We will enter to discover why it was so important with silk.

Stop At: Valencia Cathedral, Plaza de la Reina, 46003, Valencia Spain
Built on an old Roman temple that was later a mosque. In the Cathedral of Valencia we observe numerous elements from different periods, from the Romanesque to the Baroque. Construction began in the XIII century, having numerous reforms throughout the centuries we find this monumental building.
Did you know that the Holy Chalice is in the Cathedral of Valencia? And that it also houses one of the most important pictorial works of the first Spanish Renaissance?
History and art mix in the Cathedral. Its walls and doors also protect treasures as valuable as the Holy Chalice.Many studies think that the Grail of Valencia is the one that Jesus used at the Last Supper. Hence, Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI used this relic in the celebration of the Eucharist on their visits to Valencia.
Another of the Cathedral’s jewels are the Renaissance frescoes on the High Altar of the Valencia Cathedral, which were rediscovered ten years ago when the baroque vault that covered them was removed.
