“In 2014, they invited the director of restoration of the Sistine Chapel. He entered here and exclaimed, ‘Why didn’t you tell me you had a Sistine Chapel in Valencia?’” our guide Konstantin, of Discovering Valencia, paused as my wife and I stared up in awe where beams of sunlight, glowing in the incense smoke, lit up a magnificent expanse of frescoes. “When you see the church from outside, you are not thinking to go in.”
