Valencia - Colegio del Patriarca

To the east of San Andrés we find the Renaissance-style Colegio del Patriarca, with an arcaded courtyard, which was built between 1586 and 1610 to house a seminary for the training of priests founded by Juan de Ribera, Archbishop and Viceroy of Valencia. The Capilla de la Concepción contains valuable 16th century Flemish tapestries. On the first floor, in the Rector's Lodging, are a collection of old masters (Dierick Bouts, Rogier van der Weyden, Juan de Juanes, Ribalta, Morales, El Greco, etc.) and fine Brussels tapestries.
