Valencia Cathedral

It was built on the ruins of a former Major Mosque, adopting elements from different styles, being the Gothic style the most representative one.

 

It has a Latin cross plan and consists of three naves, a transept and a spectacular two floors dome with fretwork traceries. The Chapter House is relevant because it is wide and is covered by an eight points vault in which the relic of the Holy Chalice is kept.

 

We should highlight the Puerta de los Apóstoles (Apostles´ Door) that comes from the XIV Century where members of the Tribunal de las Aguas meet every Thursday (except for Public Holidays) at midday. Another important door is the Puerta del Palau (Door of the Palace), the oldest door in the cathedral that was built in a Romanesque style with Mudéjar elements.

 

Finally the Torre del Miguelete (Miguelete´ s Tower) should be highlighted, from 1381 carried out by Andrés Juliá and Pedro Balaguer. It is built with stone and consists of four bodies. It is octagonal and 51 meters high. Inside, it houses a body of superposed bells. Its structure finished off with a stone belfry from the XVIII Century.

Built: XIII Century (1262- 1356)

Author: Arnau Vidal, Andreu Juliá, Pere Compte
