Cathedral Museum
Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Castellón (Region)
The collection includes works from the cathedral, cloisters and chapels. Besides these there were fragments from the monastery of the Valley of the Crystals, and some objects which the bishop had received from the parish church. Of particular note is the Donatello Room, which houses the Madonna and Child made by the Italian master in Carrara marble, as well as some 16th-century Limousin enamels and other precious metalwork. The largest section is the painting section, which mainly features religious themes. The Old Masters Gallery is particularly important. It has Gothic paintings, including panels and altarpieces such as St. Luke, The Visitation of Mary, Santa Clara and Santa Eulalia, The Last Supper, and works by Jacomar, Rexach, Martín Toner, Pere Serra, Rodrigo de Osona Jr., and others. The panel comes from the cathedral's magnificent main altarpiece (removed in 1791), which was painted between 1525 and 1531 and is considered a towering work.
