SAN GIL MUSEUM

The museum is housed in the Romanesque church of San Gil, with a magnificent coffered ceiling in the central part. It consists of three collections: Sacred Art, Archaeology and Mineralogy. Among the most beautiful pieces is the Virgin of Bethlehem, by Juan de Juanes, a great Valencian painter of the early 16th century, and four panels attributed to Alonso Berruguete, a 16th century painter and sculptor. On the archaeological side, the pieces range from the Paleolithic to the Visigothic period, and on the mineralogical side, fossils from the area.
