8 reviews of Santa María la Mayor Basilic Church

It will move you

Impressive gothic temple, its style and characteristics differentiate it from all the others I've seen.

In the first place, the two entrances are found on the same side, practically next to each other: the apostles door (14th century) and the virgins door (15th century). Legend says that a father and son built it, and a rivalry started when they were decided on how to construct the most beautiful doors possible for the church. The legend could be true, as the entrances are indeed exceptional, a perfect design that you can't but help admire in detail.

But this place has a series of large and small details that will leave you amazed, and we're not even talking about a cathedral. On the inside, the gothic designs shine, but it's the touches of baroque that really stand out.


The the altarpiece shines on us with its golden light. The chorus, you'll you head up to by way of a beautiful snail stairway made from rocks and completely polychrome, is sublimely beautiful. And, finally, the impressive pure baroque designs, ranked as the best in all of the Community of Valencia.

Morella already draws you in because of its impressive walls, the castle, but for all the design and marvelous visits it offers, this basilica is what moves me most. Personally, I rank it up there with the most beautiful in the world. It definitely has a special place in my heart.

The visit is free, and it's worth spending time inside, looking the details of each nook.
