What’s included in the ticket
The entry to the Royal Parish of Santos Juanes includes access to the church, the immersive BARROC experience with video mapping, a multimedia audioguide, and headphones to follow the narration. According to the parish’s website, the audioguide is available in seven languages. All sales are final: tickets are non-refundable, non-exchangeable, and non-modifiable.
What is the BARROC experience
BARROC is a 20-minute video mapping projection that repeats hourly, bringing Antonio Palomino’s paintings back to life across the church’s surfaces. The parish describes it as an experience where light, colour, and live-recorded music recreate the temple’s Baroque splendour. This technique reconstructs images on the architecture without altering the heritage, following the building’s recent restoration.
History of the church
Santos Juanes is, according to its own website, Valencia’s largest Baroque church, with eight centuries of history. The site was originally a mosque and, after the Christian conquest in the 13th century, became a chapel. Fires in 1311 and 1592 led to reconstructions and redesigns, explaining its current Baroque appearance and the traces of fire still explained during the visit.
Prices and tickets
The standard ticket costs €15, and the reduced ticket €12, for students, pensioners, large families, people with disabilities, unemployed individuals, and Valencia Tourist Card holders. The parish also offers a combined ticket with San Nicolás and the Hortensia Herrero Art Centre (€32 standard, €25 reduced), valid for five days.
