The Museu de Belles Arts de València is one of Spain's most important art museums, housed in the former San Pío V seminary, a beautiful 17th-century building. Its collection spans from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, with a strong focus on the Valencian school. Highlights include works by Francisco de Goya, Diego Velázquez, El Greco, and Hieronymus Bosch, as well as a notable collection of Gothic altarpieces and Renaissance paintings. The museum also features sculptures, ceramics, and a courtyard with orange trees. It's less crowded than Madrid's Prado, offering a more intimate experience. Don't miss the 'Self-Portrait' by Velázquez and Goya's 'The Duchess of Alba'.
