The style of Valencia Cathedral is predominantly Gothic and the building was previously an ancient Roman temple and later a mosque, although many elements from other time periods can also be found, from the Romanesque style to the Baroque. Work on the current building began in the 13th century with a Latin cross, ambulatory and dome over the crossbeam. In the fifteenth century, the chapter house, the dome, the Miguelete and the door of the apostles were built. Also striking are the iron gate in Baroque style and the Palau or Almoina gate in Romanesque style.

The Cathedral was built on an old Roman temple that was later a mosque, so its history is very rich. In its architecture the Gothic style predominates, although it preserves elements from different periods,

One of the curiosities that it has is that inside it is the Holy Chalice and also one of the most important pictorial works of the first Spanish Renaissance as well as canvases by Maella and Goya. Undoubtedly a monument worth visiting!

Metropolitan Basilica Cathedral Church of the Assumption of Our Lady Santa María de Valencia.
The Cathedral has been dedicated since the time of Jaume I to the Assumption of Saint Mary and history and art are intermingled in it. Its walls and doors also protect treasures as valuable as the Holy Chalice.
