What people say

"La Seu, as the Valencian Gothic cathedral is simply called, was originally the Great Mosque of the Moors. In the 13th century when Christians took over, they converted the site into a church by adding its east-facing Romanesque doors. Continued development of this cathedral looked to erase signs of Moorish rule, though Islamic influence is seen in Valencian Gothic architecture's organic geometry that was constructed by the city's remaining Mudéjar artisans. Baroque additions, such as the ornate Puerta de los Hierros entrance at Plaza de la Reina, were later added. Enter through the east transept doors at Plaza de la Almoina to see the gilded interior, especially evident in the chapels and apse, clad during the Baroque period. The original Valencian Gothic style is seen in the stone tracery, ribbed vaults, and pointed arches of the central nave."
"Valencia Cathedral, also known as the Metropolitan Cathedral–Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady of Valencia, is a stunning architectural gem located in the heart of Valencia's historic center. This landmark was built over several centuries, it showcases a mix of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles, with features including its iconic bell tower, known as "El Miguelete,"."
