The Museu de Belles Arts de Valencia is one of Spain's most important fine arts museums, housed in a former seminary near the Turia Gardens. Its collection spans from the 14th century through the modern period, with a deep focus on Valencian painters. Joaquin Sorolla, Valencia's most celebrated artist, dominates the later galleries with luminous coastal scenes and portraits painted in his signature Impressionist style.
Sorolla's holdings here include The Port of Valencia, Resting Bacchante, and a series of family portraits and still lifes that reveal his range beyond the beach paintings he's best known for. The museum also holds Gothic altarpieces, early Valencian panel paintings, and a small collection of works by Velazquez and El Greco. Admission is free, making it one of the best value stops in the city.
