The Bishop\u2019s Chair<\/h2>\n

The Cathedral Church, in that it is the chair of the Archbishop, is a sign of his magisterium, of his pastoral ministry and of the unity of the believers in the faith that he announces, as pastor, priest and teacher of the flock.<\/p>\n

As a consequence, The Cathedral Church must be considered as the centre of the liturgical life of the Diocese, being revered by all the diocesans, and as the place to celebrate those ceremonies, which reflect the life of the Church of Valencia.<\/p>\n

The building<\/h3>\n

In the subsoil of the Cathedral, which can be visited through the Museum, there is an archaeological excavation where you can see remains of a road and Roman houses, as well as Visigothic and Islamic remains.<\/p>\n

In the 8th century the main mosque of Balansiya<\/em>, was built on its land, which served as a cathedral after the founding of the Christian Kingdom of Valencia by James I the Conqueror<\/strong> in 1238, and on 22nd June, 1262, Bishop Fray Andr\u00e9s de Albalat O. P.<\/strong> put the foundation stone of the current cathedral, beginning with the late-Romanesque<\/em> door of the Almoina and the ambulatory, to continue later in the Gothic style.<\/p>\n

The floor and the naves<\/h3>\n

The central nave has a height of approximately 22 metres, while the lateral ones do not reach 16, being square sections in the central nave and the rectangular in the lateral ones. The height of the naves contrasts with the almost forty metres of the lantern tower; with this, a large, diaphanous space of 90 metres in length was achieved. The floor has a Latin cross plan, with an ambulatory and lantern tower over the transept.<\/p>\n

The first master builder was Arnau Vidal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

14th and 15th centuries<\/h3>\n

In the 14th century the Gothic door or \u201capostles\u2019 door\u201d (started in 1300),<\/em> the lantern tower, the chapter hall (the Holy Chalice chapel, started in 1356)<\/em> and the bell tower called \u201cMicalet\u201d<\/em> (1381) were built, both works under the direction of Andreu Juli\u00e1<\/strong>. In the following century (1458-1487), Francesc Baldomar<\/strong> and Pere Compte,<\/strong> extended the nave at the foot of a stretch, until reaching the proportions that we can contemplate today.<\/p>\n
