Fine Arts Museum “San Pio V”

Fine Arts Museum “San Pio V”,  in Spanish “Museo Bellas Artes San Pío V“, is currently located where College San Pio V was once. The latter was founded in 1683, but it was not until the mid-Eighteenth Century when it was given its name.

San Pio V is one of the most important pictorial museums in the country and one of the best sights in Valencia. Particularly important are its Gothic tables of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Century.

Two of the best known works are a Velázquez’s self-portrait and “Madonna with Child” from the Italian artist Pinturicchio.
