Museum of Fine Arts of Valencia
The Fine Arts Museum of Valencia houses one of the most important collections in Spain, with works ranging from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. It stands out for its rich artistic diversity and its role as custodian of Valencian cultural heritage.
Much more than a museum
The Fine Arts Museum of Valencia, inaugurated in 1913, is a real treasure trove for art lovers. Its vast collection ranges from medieval works of great historical and religious value to paintings by renowned artists such as Goya, Velázquez and Sorolla. Housed in the former Colegio de San Pío V, a 17th century building declared a Historic-Artistic Monument, the museum combines architectural splendour with artistic wealth.
Its rooms include the majestic Patio del Embajador Vich, a reconstruction that houses Renaissance sculptures unique in Spain. As a curiosity, the building served as a military hospital during the Civil War and is arguably the most beautiful courtyard in the whole city.
Its location, next to the Turia Garden, and its free entrance make this space a perfect place to enjoy art and culture in a relaxed environment.
