The Cathedral and the Basilica are between two famous squares: The Plaza de la Reina<\/a>, which dominates the main entrance of the Cathedral, and the Plaza de la Virgen<\/a>, which dominates the main entrance of the Basilica.<\/p>\n Below, we will take a closer look at the Valencia Cathedral.<\/p>\n This is a great cathedral, in the sense that it combines the characteristics of the Gothic and Romanesque styles, as well as the Baroque. The Valencia Cathedral is really beautiful and has a splendid altar.<\/p>\n The Holy Chalice in Valencia. In one of the small chapels of the Cathedral, to the right side of the entrance, the Holy Chalice is kept, and it is officially recognized by the Vatican. Some popes (for example, Benedict XVI) came here expressly to venerate the Holy Chalice of Valencia. The chapel is dimly lit, and the brightest place here is the showcase itself that contains the Holy Chalice.<\/p>\n To the left side of the entrance to the Cathedral, is the bell tower of El Miguelete. If you manage to climb it (climbing its steep and narrow stairs is not an easy task), your efforts will be rewarded with the magnificent views of the city. Therefore, it must be done at least once in a lifetime.<\/p>\n Tickets to the Cathedral and the Cathedral museum:<\/p>\n El Miguelete tickets:<\/p>\n Cathedral detailed prices and schedule here<\/a>.<\/p>\n We continue with our guide to the most important tourist places of Valencia, with a description of the Basilica de la Virgen de los Desamparados. Weddings are often held in the basilica. In addition, in order to get married here, it is not necessary to belong to a rich or influential family: all Spaniards who wish can marry here. Marriages with foreigners are also possible, as long as you have the priest permission. During Las Fallas, in the Plaza de la Virgen, in front of the Basilica, a wooden figure of the Virgin Mary is placed near the Basilica. The figure is presented, almost completely, with an enormous cloak made of white and red flowers.<\/p>\n The floral ornament pattern changes every year. The act is known as the Ofrenda de Flores a la Virgen de los Desamparados (Floral Offering to the Virgin): all the Fallas participants of Valencia go to the Virgin in order to bring her flowers. The act is impressive, and you should definitely see it if you are in Valencia during Las Fallas.<\/p>\n Valencia tourist places on the map: Catedral de Valencia<\/a>, Real Bas\u00edlica De Nuestra Se\u00f1ora De Los Desamparados<\/a> and El Miguelete<\/a>.<\/p>\n There are many markets in Valencia, and these are very good markets.
