Not to be missed - The church of St. Nicholas leaves you breathless. His frescoes on the vault are unimaginable. The entrance ticket includes an audio guide that allows you to enjoy the show.

Super nice church. - This small church has super beautiful wall and ceiling paintings. It is rightly called the Sistine Chapel of Valencia. If you only want to visit a church in Valencia then.it has to be this one.

Must See - Having seen many churches and cathedrals, this by far is the most beautiful. It is a feast for the senses and the audio guide helps to locate the body and mind within this baroque masterpiece. The ceiling is a masterclass in making you think you are looking at a flat surface but as you move around you start to see that the ceiling has indentations for windows. The imagery on the ceiling matches the chapels below. The alter is an array of paintings, statuary and gold metal work. I took so many photos but they are minor moments when compared to standing in this beautiful place.

very nice - Church in the center of Valencia not far from the Cathedral and on the road to the Botanical Garden. The so-called Valencian Sistine Chapel inside is all frescoed and rich in works of art even if not well known. An audio guide is provided in Italian at a cost of 8 euro ( reduced over 65 ) otherwise 11 euro. Beautiful photos

Very very nice, definitely worth a visit. - Very beautiful church, it is called the Sistine Chapel of Valencia and maybe it is not totally wrong. Totally full of frescoes, it really is a sight to see. The cost is perhaps a bit excessive but one of the places to mark between visits to Valencia.

Stunning - Visited this beautiful church and was not disappointed. It's pretty much the valencia sistine chapel. It is stunning. The ceilings are stunning. The audio guide came free too which was great to have the history. I would say it's a must see.

Nice. - Church really very nice, attention to detail.... With the Audio Guide you can understand everything you are observing.... The cost of admission is a bit excessive in my opinion.... There are much more beautiful and important churches where admission is free.....
