San
Vicente Ferrer was a XV century figure who became the patron saint
of Valencia. He is still very revered and receives many prayers. This
is the place where he was born. Now nothing is left of the actual house,
a church and a chapel were built in its place. It is quite an interesting
site, if only for how important it is to Valencia. When you come here
you are likely to see someone praying feverently. The octagonal church
is quite cosy and cute, and the entrance is a spectacular caleidoscope
of XVIII century authentic Valencian ceramics from the famous Manises.
Although it is undoubtedly a curious place to see, don't fall for it when
Home of San Vicente Ferrer is advertised as a museum - it is just an important
chapel with a pretty entrance. For the same reason be aware that is an
active church - trespass with respect.
