What’s Included in the Visit
The entry ticket to the Church of San Nicolás de Bari y San Pedro Mártir grants access to one of Valencia’s most iconic temples, famous for its 17th-century Baroque frescoes, which earned it the nickname "Valencian Sistine Chapel." The ticket includes a multilingual audioguide (available in English, Spanish, Valencian, Italian, and French) that guides visitors through the side chapels, the main altar, and the most significant artistic details. Additionally, the entry provides access to the immersive experience 'The Light of San Nicolás', which combines videomapping, music, and interactive totems to highlight the frescoes and the history of the temple.
The self-guided tour lasts approximately 45 to 75 minutes, depending on the visitor’s pace.
