The iron gates of Cathedral are made in baroque, Apostol’s gates- in the gothic style and the Palace gates – in the Roman style. The Cathedral of Valencia stores the Holy Grail – the chalice from which Jesus Christ drank wine at the Last Supper. Its authenticity is officially recognized by Vatican.
The narrow streets of the old city lead to the gothic building of “Lonja de la Seda”, build at the turn of the XV and XVI centuries. You should also enter Mercado Central, whose building is an example of architecture “at-nouveau” with the use of mosaics, stained glass and ceramics – was built in 1928.
