Church (Iglesia) and Tower (Torre) of Santa Catalina
Sta Catalina Tower - Sight-seeing / Attractions in Valencia, Spain
They
call El Micalet and Sta Catalina "husband
and wife". Perhaps because both are very close to each other (both
on Plaza de la Reina) and in some ways similar, yet the Baroque tower
of Sta Catalina church holds a more light-hearted and elegant ornament,
and a more fuid shape, in contrast to the sturdy and solemn Micalet.
Sta Catalina is one of Valencia's landmarks, one of the most beautiful
buildings in Carmen and an unforgettable sight in the sunny Spanish afternoon.
The church interior is also worth visiting, the small, genuine Old Gothic
space with coloured windows.
History: the church of Sta Catalina is one of
the oldest in the city, dating from 14th century, still very visible in
the genuinely Gothic interior. The tower was added in 18th century.
