About
Gyors tények: Climb 207 stone steps to reach an octagonal bell tower that reveals layered Gothic, Romanesque and Baroque architecture as you ascend. Look closely and you'll find a compact treasury of carved choir stalls, colorful altarpieces and a surprising mix of sculpted saints tucked into dim, incense-scented chapels.
Kiemelkedő helyek: A small chapel displays an agate cup set into a medieval gold mounting, venerated locally as the Holy Grail and protected behind an ornate iron grille that invites close inspection. Ascending the octagonal tower's 207 steps delivers a rush of wind, the deep toll of bronze bells, and a full 360-degree panorama where terracotta roofs and orange trees fan out beneath you.
Insider tips
- Buy tickets online to skip the ticket window, especially during Fallas and summer high season.
- Arrive at opening to avoid group tours and to photograph stained glass with fewer shadows.
- Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for steep, narrow steps if you choose to climb the Miguelete tower.
- Visit the Chapel of the Holy Chalice from the right aisle, and stand back slightly to reduce reflections when photographing the relic.
