NOT TO BE MISSED - The Church of St. Nicholas and its frescoes are of extraordinary beauty and for this reason called the Sistine Chapel of Valencia. There is also the Guide in Italian. Ticket cost €11.00. Highly Recommendation.

A city full of life and history to discover - Valencia - a city full of movement, dynamism and appeal to the usufruct of the streets and its historic wealth. To visit and enjoy the visits. Religious monuments with expensive entries. The ticket reduction should extend to teachers who are not from Valencia. Being an intense and flat city, I noticed few features, in general, for people with disabilities and mobility difficulties.

Unique church to visit regardless of the painting - A small place with lots of history and meaning. Audio is a must since you don’t want to miss anything. Try to avoid crowds. You will enjoy every minute. The paints and artwork in the ceiling is outstanding

The Sistine Chapel of Valencia: a masterpiece not to be missed! - I was literally speechless by the Church of St. Nicholas. The frescoes that adorn the walls are of extraordinary beauty and made me think of the Sistine Chapel. The Italian Audio Guide was very useful to fully understand the history and meaning of each artwork. I learned so much!
The combined ticket to the Silk Museum was a bit disappointing. The latter seemed to me a bit dull and with few interesting finds.

San Nicolas was fantastic but.... - San Nicolas was simply amazing. Unfortunately, by the time we got there the silk museum was closed & Santos Juanes was under a severe restoration project.

Loggia Market to miss - Fabulous work represents the silk and oil market, the Gothic art stands out, do not miss the citrus garden inside.

extraordinary - and excessively expensive - One of Valencia’s highlights is the small church of San Nicolaus, known as the “Sistine Chapel of Valencia” due to its exuberantly sumptuous colour scheme.
The church itself is very hidden and cannot be seen from the outside. Yeah, it's magnificent, but here you know how to make money.
Where only a small obolus of €2 is requested for the old Gothic silk exchange with its state rooms and Unesco World Heritage status, here you simply declare the church a museum and call an outrageous €11 per person. The consideration of ceiling painting (made around 1700) is difficult to include in details and rather overwhelming, especially since one does not have access to the pictorially told episodes from the lives of unknown, local saints.
Incidentally, the 11 euros don't even include an audio guide.

Which of the 3? - Silk Museum: very nice, made on Sunday morning for free with audio guide in Italian.
San Nicolas: pretty, but only for free. It may have painted ceilings, but in every Italian city there is a nicer church for free.
