4K San Nicolás de Bari e San Pedro Mártir Valencia Spain スペイン part 9

The real surprise of the Parish Church of San Nicolás de Bari, located in one of the most beautiful streets of the old quarter of Valencia, calle Cavallers, is that after a complete restoration of international technical relevance, some incredible frescoes of incredible value and beauty have recovered their spectacular nature.
The church was founded in the 13th century, with a layout that includes a single-nave with six chapels between the buttresses and polygonal apse. The church was refurbished in Gothic in the 15th century, and includes a rose window alluding to a miracle of Saint Nicholas. There is an outdoor Chapel closed with a gate which is called the fossar, because there was before the parish cemetery. The other gate, which overlooks the square of San Nicolás, however, is a neo-gothic 19th-century recreation.
The interior of the church was completed between 1690-1693, and was decorated by Juan Pérez Castiel in baroque fashion. It has frescoes, depicting the lives of San Nicola and Peter of Verona, along with virtues and allegories, designed by Antonio Palomino and completed by Dionis Vidal.
