Museo de Bellas Artes San Pio V

The recently restorated and expanded San Pio V Museum houses a collection of important paintings and sculptures. Located next to the Royal Gardens, the museum's principal source of prestige stems from its collection of 15th-century paintings from Valencia's Golden Age. The museum also has valuable paintings from the Valencian School by artists such as Joanes, the Ribaltas, Espinosa, Vicente Lopez, Sorolla, Pinazo and others. Likewise, the collection includes works by Pinturicchio, Andrea del Sarto, Van Dyck, Murillo, Velazquez (a famous self-portrait), el Greco and Goya. It also boasts an interesting selection of contemporary art, sculpture, a collection of prints and another of archaeology. The museum also has a library, archive and a small shop. Admission: free
