Colegio San Pio V - a gorgeous Baroque sight Valencia, Spain

The building, which is these days better known as the Museum of Fine Arts (Museo de las Bellas Artes) is an unforgettable view from across the river, when you are walking along the Northern side of the centre. Its postcard exterior of a large blue dome and twin square towers is complemented with a luxurious interior cupola and Renaissance inner patios. Built in 17th century as a clergy college, it finally became the Museo de las Bellas Artes in 1940, currently hosting the second most important art collection in Spain.
