Taking a safe look around
Several Valencia museums and historical buildings offer web surfers virtual tours of their installations, a great way of taking a look around from the safe confines of our homes.
There are several that just offer glimpses of certain rooms or areas. However, the following have in-depth depictions of the installations, and you will be able to get a good grasp of the whole site with just a couple of clicks.
Firstly, we have the museum of the City of Arts and Sciences. This space is dedicated to all things science, and is located inside one of the city’s most iconic buildings. Definitely worth a look around out of curiosity, to get a glimpse of what you will see when visiting it or to admire the inside of this renown structure.
Then we have the city’s Saint Nicholas church. This building was constructed in the 15th Century and has baroque decorations from the 17th Century. It suffered severe damage during the Spanish Civil War, after which it was restored and declared a National Historic-Artistic Monument.
Thirdly, you can also take a look around all the halls of the city’s Fine Arts museum. This museum has set halls with the same pieces all year round, but also others with exhibitions that change every so often. The virtual guide shows you the impressive exterior of the building as well as all the main halls. These three sites can
be found online by searching for their name in Spanish followed by ‘visita virtual Valencia’. The first is Museo de la Ciudad de las Artes y Ciencias, the second is the Iglesia de San Nicolás, and the third is the Museo de Bellas Artes.
These are just three examples. If you have some time to spare – or three weeks - and want to visit worldwide sites and enjoy some amazing views, visit www.viajesvirtuales.es, where they have over 1,000 to liven up your confinement.
