📍 The historical and spiritual symbol of Valencia

Valencia Cathedral, known as La Seu, is one of the city's most important monuments. Its construction began in the 13th century on the remains of an old mosque, combining Gothic, Romanesque, and Baroque styles. Inside, one of Christianity's most important treasures is housed: the Holy Chalice, considered by many to be the true Holy Grail.

Next to the cathedral stands the imposing Micalet Tower, a 51-meter-high octagonal bell tower that offers the best panoramic views of Valencia.
