Valencia Cathedral (Catedral de Santa María de Valencia) is one of the city’s most important historic and religious landmarks, located in the heart of the Old Town on Plaza de la Reina. Built between the 13th and 15th centuries on the site of a former mosque, the cathedral reflects a mix of Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque, and Renaissance styles. It is also famous for housing what is claimed to be the Holy Grail, displayed in a dedicated chapel. One of its most recognizable features is the Miguelete Bell Tower, which dominates the skyline and offers panoramic views of Valencia for those willing to climb it.

The cathedral is an indoor place of worship and open to visitors during set hours, which usually run from mid-morning to early evening, with more limited access on Sundays and religious holidays due to services. Entry requires a ticket, typically costing around €8–€9 for adults, with reduced prices for children, students, and seniors; this usually includes access to the cathedral interior, museum, and an audio guide. Entrance to the Miguelete Tower is paid separately and involves climbing over 200 steps, so comfortable shoes and reasonable fitness are recommended.

Visitors should dress modestly and maintain a respectful, quiet atmosphere, especially during prayer times. Photography is generally allowed without flash outside of services. Plan to spend 45–90 minutes exploring the cathedral and museum, plus extra time if climbing the tower. Its central location makes it easy to combine a visit with nearby attractions such as Plaza de la Virgen, the Central Market, or a café stop in the surrounding Old Town streets.
