Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Castellón (Region) The collection includes works from the cathedral, cloisters and chapels. Besides these there were fragments from the monastery of the Valley of the Crystals, and some objects which the bishop had received from the parish church. Of particular note is the Donatello Room, which houses the Madonna and Child made by the Italian master in Carrara marble, as well as some 16th-century Limousin enamels and other precious metalwork. The largest section is the painting section, which mainly features religious themes. The Old Masters Gallery is particularly important. It has Gothic paintings, including panels and altarpieces such as St. Luke, The Visitation of Mary, Santa Clara and Santa Eulalia, The Last Supper, and works by Jacomar, Rexach, Martín Toner, Pere Serra, Rodrigo de Osona Jr., and others. The panel comes from the cathedral's magnificent main altarpiece (removed in 1791), which was painted between 1525 and 1531 and is considered a towering work. #February2025 #SpainTravel #Valencia

Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Castellón (Region) The village of Segobe is situated on a fertile plain washed by the Palancia River. Its medieval layout hides some architectural gems, such as the cathedral and the remains of ancient city walls. The remains of a medieval castle on the nearby hill of La Estrella recall Segorbe’s palatial origins. Named after the abundant springs found in the area, Plaza Agua Limpia is the town's nerve centre. There is the Town Hall, built in the 16th century and formerly the palace of the Dukes of Medinaceli. The Cathedral of Santa Maria was built in Gothic style and was later rebuilt in Neoclassical style. Its interior contains seven chapels and a beautiful cloister, a valuable manuscript preserved in the archives, and a series of paintings in the chapel. Several churches stand out in the medieval layout of the city: the Church of San Pedro, the Church of San Martín, the Church of San Joaquín and the Church of Santa Ana. Due to its past defense, the village still preserves the round tower of Bottessi and the tower of the prison, which were once part of the ancient walls, together with the Veronica Arch. Finally, we can end our tour of the city by visiting the Cathedral Museum, the Archaeological Museum and the Ethnological Museum. The local festival celebrations in Segorbe, which has been declared a tourist attraction, take place at the end of August and include a busy program full of cultural, religious and entertainment activities. #February2025 #SpainTravel #Valencia
