Cathedral, preserving the Holy Grail, with a remarkable octagonal tower in Valencia.

The construction of this cathedral on the site of a former mosque took place from the 13th to the 15th century, with a major restoration in the 18th century. Three different styles can be found here. Thus, the semicircular façade is Baroque, the south portal (Puerta del Palau) is Romanesque and the Apostles' Gate, to the north, is Gothic. The priceless Holy Grail has been preciously preserved here since 1432. Adjacent to the building is El Miguelete (14th-18th century), the old octagonal minaret with a bell tower. A staircase of 207 steps leads to the top.

Nice and the graal is a must for templars passionate
The chapel of holy grail is nice on its own for the alabaster panel richly carved. Alabaster is spread all over the places in the transetto tower Windows and in the resurrection chapel. The ceiling of the main altar is lovely painted ib blue with 15th century golden angels. The mix of styles is amazing and the history too. It was built on a mosque that was built on a visigot church that was built on a roman temple. The museum is fine too

Une très belle cathédrale baroque-gothique-roman comme je n'en ai jamais vu ailleurs ! Elle borde aussi deux places très agréables : celle de la vierge et celle de la Reine. Je recommande de monter dans le clocher / minaret !

Cette cathédrale a une architecture atypique, une partie est en demi cercle, il n'y a pas deux grandes tours mais elle est très jolie. L'intérieur est bien aussi mais l'entrée est payante et un peu chère.

Très belle cathédrale, grande et très bien entretenue.
Un plaisir de voir de vrai cierge et de pouvoir les allumer soi même.
Nous avons également pu assister à une partie de la messe.
