Valencia Cathedral (Catedral de Valencia)

The Cathedral of Valencia is a beautiful Gothic church and one of the symbols of the Spanish city. The cathedral in honor of the Virgin Mary was built in the XIII-XIV centuries and underwent several reconstructions, so its appearance preserved features of different architectural styles and schools. The main building is made in the tradition of Catalan Gothic, and in some elements of the building can be seen signs of Romanesque, Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassical.
