Lights and shadows in the medieval Mediterranean of the 3 cultures

We move to the Middle Ages to learn about the result of a mixture of cultures, religions, and ethnicities in one of the most enigmatic and historic cities in the Mediterranean. After the Christian reconquest, Jews and Arabs enjoyed forgiveness and obtained royal permission to remain in the city. The foundations of coexistence for prosperity were laid, a coexistence marked by three faiths in which cultural achievements were experienced thanks to the contribution of each civilization, but also conflicts, misery, and banishment. A fascinating experience that brings you closer to know about the identity and diversity of a people and that keeps you captive until the end of the tour.

Considered one of the greatest works of Valencian baroque, it was built throughout the 17th century.

In addition, the Church keeps an important pictorial and artistic collection inside, with works by painters such as Jerónimo Jacinto Espinosa or Pedro Orrente.
