Real Colegio del Patriarca (Royal Seminary of the Patriarch)
Real Colegio del Patriarca (Royal Seminary of the Patriarch) Review
This seminary, with its church, cloister, and library, is the crown jewel of Valencia's Renaissance architecture and one of the city's finest sites. Founded by San Juan de Ribera in the 16th century, it has a lovely Renaissance patio and an ornate church, and its museum holds works by Juan de Juanes, Francisco Ribalta, and El Greco.
