Church of Gothic and Baroque styles, one of the oldest in Valencia, with original frescoes by Dionis Vidal.
Erected as a parish church around 1242, the church of San Nicolás de Bari y San Pedro Mártir, popularly known as San Nicolas, is one of the oldest in Valencia. It has two basic styles, the Gothic of the mid-15th century for the part commissioned by Alfonso de Borja, the future Pope Calixto III, and the Baroque, which is very present in the interior decoration. After a colossal renovation work that took three years to complete, we can now appreciate the so-called "Valencian Sistine Chapel", since this renovation has brought to light almost 2,000m2 of original frescoes, created by the Baroque painter Dionís Vidal.

Chapelle sixtine de Valence
C'est le nom que les habitants de Valence lui donnent et c'est mérité, les superbes peintures du plafond sont incroyables, elles ont été récemment restaurées, c'est très impressionnant.
