It stands on the ground of a former Roman temple and a later mosque, embodying the city's rich, layered past.

Construction of the Valencia Cathedral began in the 13th century on the site of a Visigothic cathedral that had been converted into a mosque under Moorish rule. The main structure is primarily Valencian Gothic in style, though construction continued for centuries, resulting in a unique blend of Romanesque, French Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Neoclassical elements. It was declared a Minor Basilica in 1886 by Pope Leo XIII and remains a pivotal landmark in Spanish history.

Real experiences from real travelers
Booking our tickets online was the best decision. We walked right past a huge queue and straight in. The Cathedral is breathtaking, but the real highlight for me was the Chapel of the Holy Grail. There's such a powerful atmosphere in that room. The audio guide was very informative, and we spent a good two hours just soaking it all in. Don't miss climbing the Miguelete tower – the views are worth every step!
A very beautiful cathedral with so much to see. The architecture is a fascinating mix of styles. The Goya paintings were a wonderful surprise. My only small complaint is that it can get very crowded, which sometimes makes it hard to appreciate the quiet, reflective spaces. Booking through the platform was seamless, and the mobile ticket worked perfectly.
As someone from Italy, I've seen many cathedrals, but Valencia's has a unique charm. Seeing the Santo Cáliz, which our popes have venerated, was a deeply moving experience. The museum had some incredible artifacts. The whole process was simple, from booking to entry. Highly recommend getting the ticket with the audio guide included.
So glad we booked ahead. The process was straightforward, and we saved ourselves a lot of time. The cathedral itself is magnificent. Climbing the bell tower was a challenge, but the 360-degree view of Valencia is your reward. An absolute must-do for anyone visiting the city. The audio guide really helped bring the history to life.
A magnificent monument in the heart of the old city. The mix of Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical elements is incredible. The paintings by Goya are masterful. It was a bit crowded, which is to be expected. The online ticket system we used was very efficient.
A very special place. I spent a long time in the Chapel of the Holy Grail. It felt very peaceful. The light coming through the stained-glass windows was beautiful. I booked my ticket on my phone just the day before, it was very easy. The audio guide in English was clear and helpful.
The cathedral is gorgeous, full of history. But the best part for me was climbing the Miguelete. 207 steps is a lot, but the view from the top is the best in Valencia! You can see the whole city, the sea, everything. The ticket process online was fast and simple, no problems at all.
I wasn't sure what to expect, but this was a highlight of our trip to Spain. The history is just incredible. To think you're in the same room as the Holy Grail is mind-boggling. The museum part was also fascinating. We used the online booking platform recommended on a travel blog and it was a smooth, reliable process.
Everything you need to know for your journey
General admission tickets, which can be booked through our platform's partners, typically grant access to the main nave, the side chapels, the Diocesan Cathedral Museum, and often include an audio guide. Access to climb the Miguelete Bell Tower is usually a separate ticket but can sometimes be bundled. Special exhibitions may also require a separate entry fee.
While you can purchase tickets at the Cathedral's ticket office, we highly recommend booking online in advance through our site. This allows you to skip the often long queues, especially during peak tourist season (spring and summer) and holidays. Securing your ticket beforehand guarantees your entry and lets you plan your day more effectively.
Yes, most ticket options available through our partners are mobile-friendly. After booking, you will typically receive a confirmation email with a QR code or e-ticket. You can present this on your smartphone for entry, saving you the hassle of printing. Always check the specific tour provider's policy when you book.
Valencia Cathedral is an active place of worship. To show respect, visitors are required to dress modestly. This means shoulders and knees should be covered. Avoid wearing shorts, short skirts, tank tops, or hats inside the Cathedral. Those not adhering to the dress code may be denied entry.
Photography for personal, non-commercial use is generally permitted inside the main areas of the Cathedral. However, using a flash or tripod is strictly forbidden to protect the ancient artworks and not disturb other visitors. Please be mindful and respectful, especially during services. Photography may be restricted in certain areas like the Holy Grail Chapel.
The duration of your visit can vary. We recommend allocating at least 1.5 to 2 hours to fully appreciate the Cathedral, the museum, and the chapels. If you plan to climb the 207 steps of the Miguelete Tower for its panoramic city views, add an extra 30-45 minutes to your visit.
Yes, the main floor of the Cathedral is largely accessible to wheelchair users and visitors with mobility issues, with ramps available. However, please be aware that the Miguelete Bell Tower is not accessible as it involves a long, narrow spiral staircase. The Diocesan Museum is also mostly accessible.
Yes, audio guides are typically included with the standard admission ticket booked through our partner providers. They are available in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and more, offering rich historical and artistic context as you explore the site.
While there is no dedicated parking for the Cathedral itself due to its location in the historic city center, there are several public underground parking garages nearby. We recommend using public transport, such as the metro (Colón or Xàtiva stations) or city buses, as they are convenient and drop you within a short walking distance of the Cathedral.
